White Duck Outdoors Shelter
13' Regatta Bell Tent
A 6-person cotton-canvas bell tent on a galvanized steel center pole. Breathable, quiet in wind, and repairable in a way nylon domes never are. White Duck's DYNATEK-treated army duck canvas is water repellent without a plastic film.
Good to know: The walls and roof are cotton canvas. The sewn-in bathtub groundsheet is polyethylene, and the window mesh and zippers are synthetic. The fire-and-water-repellent finish sits at the top of the price range.

Why we picked it
A six-person bell tent in treated army-duck canvas on a galvanized steel pole. Canvas breathes, so the condensation that soaks nylon tents by morning mostly never forms, and it stays quiet in wind that has synthetic flys drumming all night. Rips take a patch and keep going. The sewn-in floor is polyethylene and the mesh and zippers are synthetic; the walls and roof over you are cotton.
