Denmark is a quite rainy country, and I'm in the process of choosing a tent.. And as such I have of course stumbled upon "hydrostatic pressure" But how much is enough? AI is saying 3k, is that your experience as well? The one I'm leaning towards(Robens – Voyager 2 Exp) has 5k outer shell, and 10k floor. That's maybe overkill. But it definitely gives me peace of mind. Assuming seams are proper sealed. But it probably comes at a cost of weight, and it is quite heavy. Sooo.. should I be rest assured a 3k floor will hold it waterproof and choose one of the slightly ligter options? What about 2k? How much is enough? Thoughts?
PS: Does anyone know of a chat for this subreddit topic? Discord, Messenger group, I dunno. Something. I have an endless amount of questions I wanna ask, because touring/camping/long distance cycling is all new to me. Making new posts all the time just oddly seems rude. I could be wrong of course.
Thanks in advance 🙂

Honestly I think you are overthinking. I went to Iceland last year with a regular decathlon tent and it rained a lot, like 72 hs straight rain and everything was good.
Just buy a quality tent/brand & make sure its been seam sealed properly. You may need to use an after market sealer if u find leaks. I use
