Woods A Frame Tent Review-Is it Value for Money?

 When it comes to camping — particularly when the climate turns bad — there's just one excuse not to prepare for the worst: stupidity. To put it differently, enduring adversity or type-two fun is one thing, but why would you do it if you shouldn't have to? Spend the money on something that won't destroy  in a high wind or leak like a sieve when the first raindrops fall.

Finding the perfect tent for your basecamping needs is a tedious task in itself. Moreover, if you have a small family of 2-3, finding a tent worth spending your money on creates difficulty. However, some tents have made it easier to carry around and are perfect for small groups. 

Woods has been in the business for more than 100 years and is known for offering tents for challenging camping trips. Woods was formed in 1885 in Ottawa, and its traditions include crossings of the Northwest Passage, climbs of mountains that sound strangely familiar, and even the preparation of the very first Canadian team to conquer Mt. Everest in 1982. 

As a result, arctic sleeping bags and sub-zero parkas became its most well-known products. It's rather amazing, and the sepia-toned photographs must appear to be quite noble. But what use there is of an A-Frame tent in your regular camping expedition.  There's a lot more to it than you might believe.

It's the ultimate "camping tent," as one could imagine it if they've never used one before. However, up close, there are numerous modern modifications. Its lining is made of a water-resistant synthetic material sewed to an excellent insect-proof mesh that will keep even the worst mosquitos at bay.

The Woods A Frame Tent works as the ideal for a frontcountry basecamp experience. It is a 3-person tent, which makes it easy to carry around and set up. Here are some of the specifications the team of Happier Camping loved:

Works for 3 Seasons

The best part about the Woods A-Frame tent is that it is suitable for three seasons-spring, summer, and fall. No matter what season you're going for camping, you can carry this tent with you anytime of the year.

Easy Setup

The Woods A-frame 3-person 3-season tent is quite easy to set up. It literally takes 5 minutes to set up and provides enough room for 3 people and their gear. It also comes with all the hooks set up already so you don't have to stake it. 

If you've ever set a tent, you'll be able to easily set up through the A-Frame setup. (If not, there are instructions stitched within the carry bag.) 

Its biggest attribute, though, is literally its poles. Modern tents have fishing-pole-like components that can chip, shatter, or fail in a variety of ways. Sure, they're light, but at what cost at 2 a.m.? 

Woods develops outdoor clothing for people who don't reside in Canada, so it's not shy of packing on a few extra pounds. As a result, its tent is made of extremely durable metal components that click together with a pleasing clink. This isn't a backpacking tent for the ultralight. This is more of a car-camping architecture.

Spacious

The tent Woods A-frame 3-person 3-season tent has a large spacious interior and opens from two sides. If needed, you can also fit upto four people. The floor of the tent is made of poly taffeta  water resistant coating, which makes it immune to heavy rains and stormy weather. 

It also has a 2000 mmm fly that keeps you dry all the time. The tent comes with a 2-pocket organizer and free-standing frame type, which allows you to stand straight without any trouble.

Portable and Lightweight

Weighing just 11 pounds, the Woods A-frame tent is very lightweight which makes it easy to carry around. You can pack other things with it without any extra effort. The light weight of tent doesn't affect the quality of the tent. It has been tested for exchange durability in Canadian environments. 

No-See-Um Mesh Panels

Another advantage of this tent is that it has no-see-um mesh panels, which protects you from bugs. The venting is for 60% of the tent, which gives a complete view of the outdoors without the bugs. You can comfortably sit under the stars in your tent without worrying about bites or scars.

Final Take

Woods is an old brand that still stands to its name and provides high-quality, durable tents that work for any weather. If you are thinking about your next camping trip with your small group, this may be the perfect tent for you.
