The Independents Rebecca Miles picks the top tents to take to music festivals
In her Independent review Pitch Perfect - the top tents to take to music festivals Rebecca Miles lavishes praise on the Alpkit Jaran 3, declaring it a worthy camping investment for any music festival aficionado.
Combining low weight, small pack size, high-quality fabrics, and sturdy construction, the Jaran 3 impresses at every level. It weighs a mere 2.336kg and packs down to the size of a 2-litre drinks bottle, making it the perfect camping companion for festival-goers who like to travel light. What's even better is that the load can be easily divided between two people, with each carrying just over 1kg.
Assembling and disassembling this tent is a breeze and can be done by one person if necessary. It employs a clever single multidirectional tent pole with a horizontal crossbar design that ensures not only stability but also effortless setup.
Weighing just 2 kg and packing down to the size of a 2-litre drinks bottle, the Jaran 3 is ideal for travelling light.
On the inside, the Jaran 3 scores high on the comfort factor. With just over a meter of headroom, it offers ample space to sit up in. The tent feels very spacious for two people and can accommodate three at a push. The two porches are an added advantage, each person having their own without disturbing the other. Additionally, double pockets at each corner enhance storage space.
The Jaran 3 also shines in terms of breathability and ventilation, thanks to its inner mesh. It keeps the interior cool, even under intense sunshine.
Miles' verdict solidifies the Jaran 3 as an excellent choice for lightweight backpacking. She recommends it particularly for intrepid festival-goers looking to invest in a tent that provides comfort, convenience, and impressive camping performance.
