Choosing a tent and it scrupulously Needless to hurry. As usual you come into the store, see a variety of goods and the question arises - how to choose a tent? Many varieties, names of companies, sizes and colors is a real way to get confused and make a mess in order to avoid this I decided to write some tips for choosing tents.
Frequently Asked Questions - Chinese tents whether to take? The answer - yes, but still stands on the site to examine all aspects of the product. If the choice is between Poland and China, yet, oddly enough, China's priority in the tent, but it's better if they were made under the supervision of either a well-known company.
Go further. First, decide overlooking the tents (for camping, travel, tents for auto-tourism, tents for adventure tourism), based on how and where you're going.
Suppose you are staying at the tourist, and there is naturally a question - how to choose a tent tourist?
1. Choosing between a gable and framing.
Gable tent (classic, a la House) will be cheaper, but its disadvantages are the complexity of the installation (just learn how to expand and add a tent), a bad wind resistance, high requirements for the installation site. An inconvenient form for the tourist.
Skeleton - skeleton can be Aluminium or fiberglass.
Aluminum - lightweight, high rigidity and elasticity, is very strong.
GRP - heavier than aluminum (twice), high hardness and elasticity, the average strength, aluminum is cheaper.
These differences and determine your choice for active tourism should choose aluminum for a relaxing family vacation fit fiberglass, as it is cheaper.
2. Ply tents
What do we get a single-layer or double layer.
Double layer tent consists of "two tents, the inner part is made of breathable, but waterproof material, and the outer (or tilt) of impervious to moisture and wind. In this tent you will be much more comfortable than a single layer.
3. Tent material
- Polyamide fibers (Capron, Nylon, Nylon Taffeta).
- Polyester Fiber (Polyester, Poly Taffeta, Lavsan).
Polyamide fibers - high strength, lightweight, low water absorption, abrasion resistance, low price. Disadvantages - high strength when wet, low resistance to ultraviolet radiation (under the influence of ultraviolet radiation are losing up to 40% of strength per year).
Polyester fiber - all the advantages of polyamide, and no shortage of polyamide fibers, but more expensive.
Legend:
190t - it's "tack" cloth (the unit "Tex» - Texture Element). The larger the number, the fabric is thicker and stronger, but harder (for an awning optimally 210t, for the inner tent 190t).
70D - it's the thickness of the yarn used in the manufacture of tissue (Den - thick filaments).
Ripstop - to increase the tensile strength, while maintaining the same weight of tissue and reduce the tension when wet the fabric after a period of 2-10 mm weave a thicker thread.
W / R - More impregnating tissue, increasing the humidity.
Presence of PU polyurethane waterproof coating.
SI silicone waterproof coating.
Seams. It is desirable that the lines were double. Taped seams found on cheaper materials and, accordingly, these tents are worth less. Welding machine special waterproof tape to the seams - the more expensive treatment option, but also more durable.
4. Indicator of water column
This characterization points to the tents and stands a square centimeter survive tent nepromoknuv.
- Up to 2,000 mm water column - a weak water-resistance,
- From 2000 to 3000 mm of water - good water resistance,
- More than 3,000 mm of water column - a very good water resistance.
For awning figure should not be less than 2000 mm for the bottom to naturally larger than 3000 mm is desirable.
5. More
Dimensions - suppose your choice of 4 tents - per person on average 50-65 cm of the selected sites would be enough, on this basis we can calculate the desired size.
Availability of mosquito nets - once again for your convenience, what would sleep at night, not to fight against mosquitoes.
Well ventilated tent (the presence of air vents) - because there are various dining and sleeping in uncomfortable masks.
Weight of the tent - I think is understandable.
Well, preferably on a zipper entrance.
I think based on that you now know how to properly choose a tent.
