<p>I was lucky enough to be given an almost new double skin popup tent.</p> <p>Where I'm camping right now it's got windy a couple of times and rainy a couple of times.</p> <p>A friend of mine who is camping in his (several seasons old) dome tent says he thinks they're an inherently better design than popup tents against wind.</p> <p>But is this necessarily true? <strong>Is it generally considered that popup tents have a particular set of advantages and disadvantages in comparison to dome tents?</strong> ... apart from these points which I think are obvious:</p> <ul> <li>Dome is cheaper than popup.</li> <li>Popup is quicker and easier to pitch, and arguably quicker and easier to stow (at least once you've learned how!)</li> </ul>
