Living in a big city every day and occasionally going camping is also a good pastime. It is important to choose a suitable outdoor tent. Let's take a look at how to choose an outdoor tent?
Single layer :The single-layer tent is made of single-layer fabric, which has good wind and water resistance, but poor air permeability. However, this tent is simple to build and can quickly establish camps. Besides, the single-layer fabric has high cost performance, small floor space, and is also convenient to carry.
Double layer tent: the outer tent of the double layer tent is made of windproof and waterproof fabrics. The inner tent is made of fabrics with good air permeability, and there is a gap between the inner tent and the outer tent, which will not return to the damp when used in rainy days. Moreover, the tent has a vestibule, which can be used to put things and is convenient to use.
Three tier account: The three tier account is based on the double tier account and adds a layer of cotton account to the internal account, which can better improve the heating effect. Even in the winter when the temperature is 10 below zero, the temperature can also be kept at about 0 ℃.
If you want to use the tent for camping in an ordinary outing, you can choose a three season tent. The basic functions can also meet the needs of most camping. If you want to use the tent in harsh environments such as mountaineering, exploration, and snow, you should choose a mountain tent with good quality. The mountain tent has good wind and rain resistance, and also has certain warm keeping functions.
Most outdoor tents will be marked with the applicable number of people. However, different individuals have different body shapes and use habits, and their carry on items will also take up space. Therefore, try to choose a larger space when choosing, so that it is more comfortable to use.
Polyester fabric has the advantages of good elasticity and strength, bright color, smooth handle, good heat resistance, light resistance, resistance to mildew, moth eaten, low moisture absorption, and will not harden under low temperature environment. However, this fabric is widely used in low-cost tents.
Nylon cloth is light and thin, has good air permeability, and is not easy to mildew. Nylon cloth is waterproof by smearing PU layer. The greater the value, the better the rain proof performance. PU coating is in mm. At present, the waterproof index is usually above 1500mm, and those below this value should not be considered.
Oxford cloth, a primary color fabric, is soft and light in texture. It is generally used for the bottom of tents. With PU coating, it has good water resistance, easy washing and quick drying, good durability and moisture absorption.
At present, the tents with 3-4 people sell well on the market. The waterproof index is above 1500mm, and they can be used in rainy days. However, if they are often used in rainy seasons, it is better to choose outdoor tents with waterproof index above 2000mm.
Generally, the weight of a two person tent is about 1.5kg, and that of a three to four person tent is about 3kg. The bigger the tent, the bigger the weight and volume will be. However, you can choose a larger tent if you drive out to camp, or a lighter tent if you travel alone or climb mountains.
