How to choose an outdoor tent?

1. Weight/performance ratio

This is an important parameter of outdoor equipment. Under the same performance, weight is inversely proportional to price, while performance is basically proportional to weight.

Simply put, excellent performance, light weight equipment costs a lot of money, whether it's hiking bags, sportswear, sleeping bags, or tents.

For a double account, a weight of less than 1.5 kg is considered ultra-light, a weight of less than 2 kg is considered normal, and a weight of 3 kg is slightly heavier.

2. Comfort

Whether the tent is comfortable or not is the first thing to pay attention to. First of all, the size, the bigger the more comfortable, I personally think that two big men sleeping in a 1.3-meter-wide double tent is a bit crowded, but an oversized tent will cause the weight to rise, so take it. A balance.

If it is a field camping trip, and you feel that the double account is too crowded, you can consider buying a triple account directly.

The second is the number and size of the foyer. The single-door tunnel tent on the front is obviously not as convenient as the double-door round tent. The advantage of the large hall is that if it rains, you can fire and cook in the hall, of course. You have to sacrifice weight for the comfort level of your computer, so you can weigh it yourself...

3. Difficulty of building

Many people ignore this parameter, and tragedy occurs when there is severe weather or sudden heavy rain, and an emergency camp is needed.

Simply put: the fewer poles, the easier it is to build. It is not as easy to build as hanging buckles that need to be worn.

The other is whether it is possible to set up an external account first, so that when it is rainy, you can set up an external account first and then an internal account. When you put it away, you can first collect the internal account and then the external account to avoid getting the internal account wet.

4. Windproof and waterproof

The strength and structure of the tent play a leading role. The tunnel tents and spire tents have a small wind-receiving area and are relatively wear-resistant.

There is also the skill of building. Some people are too lazy to nail the nails and do not pull the wind ropes. As a result, the tent was lifted by the strong wind in the middle of the night. After the heavy rain came out to set up the tent again, it was a pain...

5. Breathable

Ventilation mainly depends on the material of the tent. Generally, there are three-season tents. The inner tents are more meshed, and the outer tents are not completely attached to the ground. The ventilation is better but the warmth is more general.

The inner tent of the four seasons tent is made of heat-preserving material, and the outside tent is pasted to seal the air inlet, which will keep you warmer but relatively sultry, so there are generally ventilation skylights.

6. A complete set of camping equipment

If you pay attention when purchasing a tent for travel friends who have never seen a tent, camping equipment is more than a set of tents.

The tent itself includes external tents, internal tents, poles, floor nails, wind ropes, etc. You also need to separately purchase floor mats that fit the tent size, as well as your own favorite moisture-proof pads and sleeping bags, to form your complete set Accommodation equipment for camping.
