How To Select The Best Camping TentPosted by basshopper on October 20th, 2019
There are tents of different shapes, sizes, characteristics, colours, with robust or lightweight structure. To guide a good choice, it is essential not to overlook the analysis of certain characteristics that may influence your decision. We will see what are the key points to evaluate to choose the best tent for your needs. There are tents that are suitable for small day trips, others that allow you to make routes for several days. Some are suitable for high altitudes, others for camping near the sea or in windy places. Some have their strong point in assembly speed. Each store has different characteristics depending on the use you are going to give it and your needs. The best tent will be different if you have to endure wind, rain or just temporary and emergency shelter. If we are going to do mountaineering, we will have to assess its resistance to the inclement weather and low weight. For camping, we will need more space, weight not being so important, valuing comfort more than resistance. Camping tents are stores with spaciousness and comfort, even to appreciate that you can stand inside them. Dimensions. Design. The Canadian tent has the classic pyramid shape, it is very small and does not allow much movement, but it is certainly practical and light to carry. The umbrella store reminds of the tent of a circus. It is quite high and allows a slight internal movement. More comfortable are the igloos, which are quite spacious. The tent has the classic sloping triangular roof with a rectangular base: width at the bottom, a little less high. The modular tents have an internal division, where we can find a living room with a bedroom, large and spacious, allows you to move even standing, but requires a more complex assembly. Materials. Weight. Very important weight depending on the type of activity that we are going to do, it is not the same to go on an alpine route than camping in a camp site. We must be very aware of the weight if we have to carry it in the backpack. Don't fall for the traces out of several manufacturers that maintain roofs and their tent walls are already waterproof. Water might be resisted by them however they aren't watertight. Also bear in mind that the zippers for your own doors and windows might not be watertight. A rainfly is your surest way to keep rain from your own best family tents. Price. With this brief guide we hope to help you at first to better understand what kind of store you need. There are many in the market, but following these instructions I am sure that you will look for the store that is most suitable for your needs. Like it? Share it!More by this author |
