How to Choose Camping Tent

Green tourism is growing in popularity in our time than ever before. This contributes to greater availability of various "corners protected" and last but not least the presence of various equipment in the sports shops. If twenty years ago to get, say, a tent or a backpack was a big success, and no one looked at the quality, now has the opportunity to choose. And that this was the right choice, we will give some tips on choosing a tent. Hiking, camping, light or extreme tent - they have many common characteristics.

General requirements for any tent stem from its destination. The tent has a light, wearable shelter from the rain, wind, sun, insects, animals, and other adverse environmental factors in the wild. Consequently, it must be as light as possible, the compact (folded state) have good water-repelling quality, high tensile strength and resistance to the wind. All these qualities are achieved through the use of modern synthetic materials, smart design and perfect sewing. Thus, when choosing a tent should pay special attention to how reliable her joints, whether they are glued, which fabric is used, how well it holds water and wind (information can be obtained of the passport or the instructions supplied with the product). Always in the modern tent must be present mosquito nets, ventilation windows, and racks (arc) is made of duralumin or high-quality carbon fiber. As you can see, the properties of the tents are highly dependent on the materials from which it is made, and then to buy a good tent in less than a hundred dollars is unlikely to succeed. And also, you should prepare outdoor sleeping bed and camping tent lighting for a nice campaign.

By this kind of tents imposed the most stringent requirements. On the one hand, they are exploited to the maximum unfavorable conditions, and still need to be very robust, and on the other - they carry on themselves, and therefore their weight must not exceed the permissible limits. There is a contradiction between the strength, reliability and ease required. By the way, the price plays a major role here, as the lighter and stronger at the same time the material, the more expensive it is. How to find a "middle ground"? This should reflect the environment in which you plan to use the tent. For trips of high complexity in the harsh climatic conditions choice is best left to an experienced professional. Tents camping for three or four days' march in the Carpathians and the Crimea can be selected independently.

This tent should have two layers: an inner breathable and protective upper (tent camping), and is critical to the layers do not touch. Otherwise condensate accumulated on the inner side of the upper canopy, soak the inner tent. It’s very handy when the tent camp has two outputs and vestibules for equipment, too much inside the tent. Experience suggests that the universality of all hostels camping tents, their weight is rarely more than four kilograms, and they are very compact in the folded and unfolded, have low windage. It does not matter for this kind of weight, since such tents are usually transported on vehicles. The requirements to quality and size, too much lower than the above-described field tent. Such tents travel can be selected on the basis of your desired comfort and price.
