Which tents are good and practical and comfortable. How to choose a tourist tent. Tips for beginners. Universal tent “for everything”

Currently, any hike or outing into nature is impossible without a tourist tent. A person who has never been on a trip or only gone on a picnic would hardly have thought about which tent he should take with him for this or that occasion. For such people, this is something unified, although currently tourist equipment can be very different from each other.

Manufacturers have achieved such a situation in the market that there are quite a lot of varieties of tents - the range is very wide. Let's take a closer look at this issue and make a rating of the best tourist tents for today.

Which tent is best for camping? We choose inventory based on our goals

Today there are a huge number of varieties of tents for a variety of purposes. In this article we will touch only on tourist types. You should be aware that travelers' plans also vary. It is the latter who make the choice of one tent or another in accordance with their desires. Depending on the purpose, such tourist equipment is divided into hiking, camping, trekking, cycling and mountaineering.

So, for example, a camping tent is a spacious vestibule, which in the standard case is larger in height than the equipment itself, an awning, usually single-layer, and a fastening design. Even based on such modest characteristics of a camping tent, one can see the main target differences from the tourist model.

Differences between tourist and camping tents

Let us recall that the main difference between camping and tourism is that the former does not involve constantly moving the tent and choosing a new place for it. As a rule, the tent in this case is in one place for the entire duration of the holiday. It follows that its weight does not matter. When choosing a camping tent, the preference will be towards the vestibule. It is its size that plays the main role. A vestibule is necessary to put things there during a hike; it is often needed in case of rain or other weather conditions. This part of the tent, in addition to storage, is used to heat food and provide shelter from rain and wind.

Tourist tents are completely opposite to the camping option. They are purchased if you are planning a long travel route. In accordance with the goals, the best manufacturers of tourist tents achieve the following criteria: such models are very light, easy to carry, covered with a two-layer protective material (inner part and awning), small in height.

What parameters should you pay attention to when choosing?

It is compiled based on a number of criteria for a given production. One of the main parameters of such a tent is its capacity. Tourist tents come in different types: single, double, triple, and sometimes you can even find twelve-person tents. Equipment for 12 seats is mainly purchased for long group expeditions. Not only your comfort, but also the weight of the model depends on capacity. Therefore, a tent for 4 people will be heavier than for two.

Tambours

The number of vestibules is also considered a significant factor in the size of the tent. For example, it is better to purchase tents with two vestibules for hiking trips. This amount will bring greater comfort, because in this case it becomes possible to make an entrance on both sides for better ventilation. It is especially important to have two vestibules in a four-person tent. In this case, you can calmly, without disturbing your neighbors, exit through one of the available exits.

Awning as an important component

When compiling a rating of tourist tents and directly purchasing them, you should pay special attention to the ability of the material not to allow water to pass through. The higher the indicators of this ability, the stronger and heavier the tent will be. In this matter, you need to proceed from your own requirements for sports equipment.

Determining the optimal weight

A good backpacking tent - quite light. As practice shows, such models are much more expensive in price. As a general rule, a two-person tent should ideally weigh around 3kg, and a three-person tent should ideally weigh around 3.5kg.

Many manufacturers are trying to reduce the weight of the tent by modifying it. Thus, the company from the Czech Republic Hannah has tents without poles. They use trekking poles for support frames. However, such equipment certainly needs guy wires, because no matter how much support the ceiling has, in a stormy wind the structure needs to be strong.

Expensive or cheap?

It is worth noting that more expensive tents are those that are made from strong, reliable, but lightweight materials. The specificity of good tents is that they weigh little, but at the same time they provide unrivaled protection from water. Good quality tourist tents should be purchased only in specialized stores. It must be emphasized that you should not buy such equipment in supermarkets, where only the low cost of the product is important (such goods are easier to sell). Tourist tents sold in such stores are less comfortable than those from popular manufacturers.

Rating of tourist tent manufacturers

Today, the products of American companies Black Diamond and Marmot are considered the most reliable and in demand. Some of the best manufacturers of tourist tents (by rating) are the brands Hannah and Pinguin. Russian entrepreneurs are not lagging behind in terms of components and production. Leading positions in the Russian market are occupied by such companies as Alexilka and Terra Incognita.

7 Crusoe Camp House Evolution

Active entertainment and a mobile lifestyle sometimes lead to the need to spend the night in the open air. For this purpose, devices with different characteristics can be used. The purchase of a specific product often depends on the purpose. In this article we will give a rating of the best tents for tourism and camping for 2018.

Selection rules

You need to buy a specific model based on its purpose. If you are planning a trip with friends or family, you need a tent - a spacious sleeping place with the most comfortable conditions (a small canopy for shade, windows and other pleasant bonuses). And for hiking trips, you need a lightweight and foldable option that can be quickly assembled and disassembled, and carried from one place to another without much effort.

For extreme weather conditions - snow, rain, wind - durable structures with good supports and a double top layer that is moisture-resistant are useful. There are also highly specialized lines that are designed for winter fishing or for mountaineers.

All products in this segment can be divided by season. The most common ones, summer ones, have good ventilation qualities; their material is specially designed for ventilation. But in cold weather or prolonged rain, you won’t be able to relax in these. Three-season ones are designed for camping in the fall and spring, so they are specially equipped with special water-repellent properties and have an upper cover that needs to be installed only during precipitation. And there are those that can be placed in winter. They are made from very durable fabric and can withstand low temperatures, keeping you warm inside.

There are also inflatable structures that are more suitable for a large tent camp. They are placed by military or scientists during expeditions. The Russian company Pnevmosibir creates the most reliable pneumatic frame tents with inflatable lining made of Oxford fabric. The structure consists of a PVC frame, internal and external awnings and a waterproof bottom. Also equipped with a door and window. From 10 to 20 people can be accommodated here at the same time.

When choosing, focus on:

• capacity;
• the number of layers and the presence of additional ones - from rain;
• fabric quality;
• insulation of litter from moisture;
• presence of ventilation, mosquito net;
• the need for a small canopy in front of the front door - here you can place shoes, a backpack and other things that should not get wet or stand in the sun;
• brand – foreign manufacturers often make a large markup just because of a well-known name;
• customer reviews.

Review of popular companies

There are manufacturers that are known all over the world and are famous for their quality products. Let's compare these brands and look at their strengths and weaknesses.

Trek planet

This is a relatively young Russian brand, which originates from the German company High Peak. Due to close technological contact, the general direction of the manufacturer is European quality, but the raw materials are supplied from Russia, so the pricing policy is quite flexible.

The catalog contains products of all categories. There are series for camping, tourism, the best extreme tents, as well as tents and additional equipment, for example, sleeping bags, foam, backpacks. All products have been tested and have already received approval from users not only in the Russian Federation, but also abroad.

The Moment and Plus 2 quick-assembly models are especially popular. They are low cost, but do an excellent job of their functions. Designed for two people, but spacious enough for three, and also, which is rare for this price category, they have good height and fold compactly.

They have a green camouflage color, so they are non-staining and do not need frequent washing. The top layer is designed to protect against precipitation, and the special design prevents it from sticking to the inner tent, so condensation does not accumulate inside, on the walls.

Trump

The dromedary camel is the brand’s calling card. The coolest tents for Russian tourism. The Nordsport company, founded in St. Petersburg, is actively developing and now maintains trade relations with the countries of the European Union and Asia. On the company’s website you can find not only sleeping products, but also all travel utensils and additional equipment.

Let's focus on camping options. The Anaconda V2 model can comfortably accommodate up to 5 people and also has a wide vestibule. In addition to classic water resistance, the awning is also treated with a special impregnation that protects against ultraviolet radiation. The fabric heats up slowly, so in the summer (in the morning) the room will not be stuffy. Good ventilation also contributes to this.

You can go inside not only through the main entrance, but also through an additional one, which makes it easier for a family or company to live together outdoors. Thanks to wear-resistant materials and durapol frame arches, we can talk about this model as one of the most durable.

Canadian camper – Canadian company of quality tourist tents

Technologically sophisticated and stylish products have been produced for over 25 years. During this time, the brand became popular, especially in Canada and America. This is due to good raw materials (polyester tents and fiberglass poles) and water resistance. The downside is the high price in Russia due to transportation and customs agreements.

Let's consider the double version of KARIBU 2. It has two entrances, ventilation windows, but does not come with a canopy. The product is designed for hiking, but many hikers say that carrying 3.8 kg is quite difficult. But the product has a good height - 130 cm, but insufficient length - 210 cm (not very convenient for tall people with sloping walls in mind). The design is domed rather than conical, which is also an advantage.

Greenell is the leader in the rating of automatic tents

The Irish company has established itself as a manufacturer of high-quality travel equipment. It gained fame in Russia precisely due to automatically unfolding equipment, which is still considered a rarity among our manufacturers. This frame allows you to lay out a sleeping place even for one person in a short time. Let's review the Dongan 4 model for sale.

It is suitable for four people. For convenience, there are 2 exits with mosquito nets. There are small vestibules on both sides, but their canopy is enough to put a backpack and shoes. The material is breathable and dense, but white (which is good for light penetration, but not practical). The manufacturers themselves indicate that use in wind, heavy rain or temperatures below 0 degrees is prohibited. Moreover, the price is 13,500 rubles.

Nova tour - included in the rating of the best camping tents

The Russian company is more than 25 years old and has managed to win the attention of our compatriots, including thanks to the truthful slogan - “This is not China, professionals understand.” And the quality is really decent. This is evidenced by sealed seams, durable aluminum arches, and dense fabric that can withstand both rain and wind. Technologies of even lightweight series are based on the extreme conditions of tourism in Russia.
