Tunnel tent
A tunnel tent of the very best quality is in principle the most storm-resistant tent construction. A tunnel tent which is correctly designed is easily put up, even in stormy weather. But if the tent is of less good quality, there is a risk that the poles or fastenings will break.

The inside volume is much greater than that of a ridge tent. That is why for the last couple of decades, the tunnel tent has been the combi-tent that many people have chosen for a motoring, canoeing, cycling or mountain hiking holiday.
Now Tentipi has set a completely new standard regarding what you can expect from a truly versatile, portable, low-weight tent. So you must really think about what your priorities are. If your tent must be truly versatile, then we recommend a Tentipi® Nordic tipi, see “Tentipi® Adventure — single-pole Nordic tipis”.
We must point out that a cheap tunnel tent is not at all storm-resistant and that one in the middle price range is not necessarily so either. As a rule, our Nordic tipis survive better. One of our customers told us that all the tents around his Nordic tipi had blown away, while his Nordic tipi was the only tent remaining standing. The user-friendliness of a tunnel tent is also so-so. It is really crucial that you make the right choice when looking at the enormous range of alternatives on offer on the market. Why bother yourself with that when Tentipi has a superb solution?
However, there are some people who do have extreme demands for hurricane-resistance, for instance Arctic travellers. For these people, we do recommend they use a carefully chosen tunnel tent or dome tent. We recommend especially www.hilleberg.se, who are very reliable when it comes to safety and user-friendliness.
