Types of tents
High attitude tent
The main function is reflected in the wind resistance, the wind resistance is mainly reflected by the bracket, and the multi-bar cross structure is mostly used to form the auxiliary force of the bar and the bar to achieve the best wind resistance.
Of course, the disadvantage of this structure is that it has more than abnormal weight, so this kind of equipment is very targeted, generally for professional explorers.
Mountain tent also has a main function is to keep warm, and the fabric of the current warm inner tent is scraped with a layer of resin pulp, which is both warm and has a certain permeability.
Four-season tent
The four seasons account, as the name suggests, is designed for those consumers who are extremely passionate about camping. Unlike the mountain account, it may not have strong wind resistance, but it has a good ventilation function.
Relatively light weight, can take into account spring, summer, autumn and winter. Generally, these products have a double layer of large doors, one layer is used for three seasons of ventilation, the other layer is breathable cloth for winter warmth, this structure is the biggest feature of the four seasons account.
Spire tent
The four-corner pyramid and the hexagonal pyramid are a common type of pole-less tent, which consists of a hiking pole (or two feet tied together) held up in the center of the tent.
Inside the pyramid can be hung without inner account, if hung also divided into full inner account and half inner account. In addition to the difference in size, the rod should be supported in the inner tent when the full inner tent is used, and the half inner tent should be supported outside the inner tent.
Compared with ordinary dome tents, pyramid tents are not easy to snow, and wind protection is better at the bottom. Because it has a certain streamline design, the wind resistance performance if the foundation is more balanced, the wind resistance is better than some cross tents.
Shopping precautions
- Buy tents according to their own use, such as summer, non-snow, snow or four seasons use; The number of people housed in the tent; The space you wish you had; The weight of the tent; You can accept the price etc.
- Manufacturers offer a number of different sizes, weights and design combinations, you can choose according to your needs.
- Whether the tent is single or double, it is necessary to understand the waterproof and breathability of the tent. If the tent is completely waterproof, moisture will condense in the inner tent causing small puddles at the bottom. This moisture is generated by the exhalation of climbers, and it may also wet the sleeping bag.
- Cheap, single-storey tents that can only be used at the lower end of the forest and must be fairly ventilated. Because single-layer tents are completely waterproof and breathable, it is best to choose double-layer tents.
- Different tent designs have different degrees of support, and you must consider your own use when purchasing, especially in the snow season.
- The lightweight tent should be spacious and strong enough to handle some special needs.
- Generally, the two-person tent is the most commonly used tent, because it is easy to carry, easy to find the camp, and three or one can live.
- The color of the tent is best to choose a warm color, such as yellow, orange or red. When you're trapped, the conspicuous color is easy to spot.
- Cooking should be avoided in the tent, especially the use of gasoline stoves. The stoves have a pungent smell, are prone to spilling fuel oil, and the fire is uncontrollable, which is a potential crisis.
- Especially in the tent of waterproof nylon cloth cooking often have a feeling of choking, cooking will also cause the inner tent condensed many small water droplets, if really need to cook in the tent, it is best to do it outside the well-ventilated tent.
