Hardshells are better for saving fuel, saving time if regularly moving camp sites and easier to use when on the road and moving around. Also better for roof storage.

Ultimately softshell tents are more affordable, offer larger sleeping space, and more comfortable for longer stays. They’re lighter on the roof and enable you to store more gear inside.
