Explain the outdoor tent category in detail!

When you are ready to spend the night in the wild, you can choose tents, sleeping bags, tarpaulins, snow caves or shelters. The tent is the most common way, because it is easy to set up, rain proof, reusable, and can be set up anywhere, wind proof, sun proof, and there is enough space inside for climbers to place equipment. For those who are new to the outdoors, they should first understand the types of tents and what kind of tents are suitable for our current travel routes.

Tent benchmark: Let's first understand the product. What kind of tent is a good tent? It is a combination of space, function, weight, humanization and beauty. Space: The width of the tent is about 50cm according to the shoulder width of the person,

1) The space for two people is 220cm x 135cm, and the height is about 105cm. Such a space will bring comfort to everyone, without any sense of oppression. The legs will also have enough space for backpacks and other camping supplies

2) Function: The function of a tent is generally reflected in wind, rain, snow, mosquitoes and ventilation, which are basic functions. With these basic functions, you can sleep well outdoors.

3) About weight: generally speaking, the basic weight of a double tent is about 2 kg, and that of a single tent is about 1.5 kg. This weight should already be within the acceptable range. Of course, it is a trend to become lighter and lighter under the premise of ensuring functions. However, some products use tent poles with diameters of about 7.5 mm and very thin fabrics, such as fabrics with specifications below 15D, to reflect the very light weight, In my opinion, it is not advisable to reduce the weight and damage the windproof and wear-resistant properties of the foundation. The pursuit and blind obedience of lightweight lost comfort and space. There are also some non self-supporting products that are difficult for ordinary beginners to control. For example, some products are non closed single-layer nets (such as single-layer Tower A, which are mainly used for temporary use to shelter from rain, wind and ultraviolet rays. There are many mosquitoes, ants and rats outdoors, and this kind of single-layer structure is difficult to prevent, so it is not recommended to use it in primary mountain camping.

4) Humanization of tents: What is humanized design? It is necessary to fully consider the natural factors encountered by consumers in the use process. For example, the outer tent should consider the door that can be easily accessed in the rainy season. The zipper position of the outer tent door should be within reach There is an expandable lobby. The lobby should have enough auxiliary space for equipment. The vent should be designed in opposition to each other as far as possible to allow air convection. The fixed position of the vent should be as high as possible. The cold air will evaporate the hot air generated by our breath and body upward. This will smoothly evaporate the hot air, reduce condensation water and reduce frost It is also necessary to improve some small details, such as storage bags, light hanging points, etc. It is better to design the outer tent with prominent vertices, which will facilitate the smooth water distribution at the top. The seam allowance of the outer tent should be fastened to the skeleton. Only in this way can the shape of a tent be well reflected.

Type of tent

Alpine tent

The function is mainly reflected in wind resistance, which is mainly reflected by the support. Multi pole cross structure is adopted in most cases to form the auxiliary force between poles to achieve the best wind resistance. Of course, the disadvantage of this structure is that it has excessive weight, so this kind of equipment is highly targeted, generally for professional explorers. The main function of the mountain tent is to keep warm. The fabric of the current warm inner tent is scraped with a layer of resin paste, This fabric is warm and breathable.

Four season account

As the name implies, the Four Seasons Tent is designed for those consumers who love camping very much. Unlike the Mountain Tent, it may not have strong wind resistance, but it has good ventilation and ventilation functions. Compared with the Mountain Tent, the Mountain Tent is relatively light in weight, which can give consideration to spring, summer, autumn and winter. Generally, this kind of product has a double-layer large door. The first layer uses mesh cloth to ventilate in three seasons, and the first layer is breathable cloth to keep warm in winter. This structure is the biggest feature of the Four Seasons Tent.

Three quarter account

Designed for spring, summer and autumn, it is a leading product that occupies the global tent market. Because the third quarter accounts occupy the main camping season for ordinary consumers, it is also one of the reasons for the richest product lines of major brands In the south of China, a good three season tent can even meet the basic camping needs of a basic mountain friend for a year. The tent with this function is mainly aimed at its ventilation. In the south, especially when camping at night, the human body will release a lot of heat and breathing gas. In rainy weather, the atmospheric pressure is very low, and the gas released by the human body will form a condition reflection when meeting the temperature difference of the outdoor tent, Condensate is formed and attached to the external account. In this way, the space circulation of the external tent is very important. The general waterproof index of the external tent fabric of the three season tent is 1500mm~2000mm, which is more than enough for general precipitation. In order to save costs as much as possible in the current European and American markets, more and more three quarter accounts are now designed as a full network structure of internal accounts. The external accounts are not even equipped with vents, but are fully isolated from the internal accounts to increase ventilation.

Family account

At present, self driving tents like these are very popular in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. These tents have large space and are generally designed to be composed of a main hall and a bedroom. They are good family gathering equipment.

The space of the steeple roof tent is limited, but it is very interesting. For example, the pyramid structure has a windy appearance, which has certain technical requirements for users. It also needs to use auxiliary wind ropes to enhance its wind resistance. However, because it has a certain streamline design, if the foundation is relatively balanced, the wind resistance is better than some crisscross tents.

Tunnel account

In fact, the tunnel tent is the most respected one in Europe. We will be infatuated with it when we master its construction skills, because it has perfect space, excellent wind resistance, and large hallways. The tunnel tent is divided into two structures, namely, the inside hanging type and the outside hanging type. In particular, the inside hanging type allows you to quickly build in a bad environment, and can avoid being embarrassed by equipment soaked in the rain. HERRABAGE, a Swedish brand from northern Europe, is a classic interpreter of this kind of tent. This brand's product update is not very prominent, but its style is very rigorous and demanding. Their pursuit of details is beyond the reach of many brands. Their double-sided silicon coated fabric even has a resistance of more than ten kilograms The ordinary double silicon fabric is only about 8 kg, and the support method of tunnel tent is actually very simple. The best way is to choose a soft ground that can be used to lower the pudding. First pull up the four corners of the diagonal symmetry, and then fix the rest of the fixed points. In the hard ground that cannot be used to lower the pudding, you can also use stones, sand bags, etc. to fix. At present, this kind of technical equipment is not recognized in China, so practitioners need to pay a lot of patience.

About the structure of the tent

Dome, spire (Tower A), tunnel (TUNNEL), frog type. The dome tent is generally called a self-supporting tent. The most common one we see is the crisscross tent. This kind of tent is simple to build and has good space. It is an ideal choice for beginners. The wind resistance of this kind of tent may be worse, because its windward side is equal, and there is no good support point for a single tent pole, which can only be balanced by the tension of the wind rope and cloth.
