Dome

Dome Tents are the most popular tent option due to being relatively inexpensive, lighter and easier to put up or take down than canvas tents. The size of the tent should be relative to how much room you need to be comfortable, if you have a family of 4 then you may need a multi room tent.

Canvas

Canvas fabric tents are much more spacious. The heavier the gsm of fabric, the more durable and sun resistant they are. Canvas tents are generally cooler than nylon/polyester domes, but can vary. They will take up more boot space than domes but about the same time to put up once you are familiar with how to pitch them.

Adventure

Adventure tents are generally made from more technical and lightweight fabrics, and use light, strong alloy poles. They are designed to be compact and light enough to carry in your backpack, from overnight hikes to alpine use. They vary from a more basic single pole (summer cycle touring/bivys) to full-on alpine tents that use top of the line fabrics and poles so they can withstand strong winds and snow loads.

Inflatable

Very easy to quickly inflate, pitch and dismantle - great when you are short on time. Requires pumping up air poles but can be good to go within minutes.
