Independent testing
How much independent testing exists for each camping tent
Of the 8 camping tents we track, 4 have been physically measured by at least one independent lab. Below is every one, ordered by how much independent hands-on evidence stands behind it — densest first.
A coverage record, not a ranking of which is best.

|---|---|---|---|
| MSR Hubba Hubba LT 2-Person Tent | 1 | 5 | 1 |
| The North Face Wawona 6 Tent | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 2 Tent | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 Tent | 1 | 1 | 1 |

| REI Co-op Base Camp 4 Tent | 0 | 0 | 2 |
Each figure is a count of what independent testers actually did — how we count. A low count means little independent evidence has been gathered yet, never that a product is worse. See also the Camping Tents buying guide and the reviewers we cite.
