Travel tent capacity
The inner space of the tent should be suitable for the number of people in your group or family and everyone can sleep comfortably in the tent. In addition to the number of people in the group, the amount of equipment they carry should also be considered, for example, if you are a family or a group of 4 people, it is better to choose a 5-person tent.
A few seasons of the tent
Travel tents are made for different seasons according to their material and even the type of design they have. You may choose a tent that is not suitable for areas with humid weather and heavy rainfall. Therefore, the multi-season nature of the tent depends on the areas you choose for travel and nature tourism. The most popular travel tents are three-season tents, which are designed as lightweight shelters for relatively humid weather conditions in spring, summer, and fall. Many tents in the market are three-season tents. These tents have mesh windows that cause air flow in the tent and thus have proper ventilation. These mesh windows will prevent insects from entering and will provide you with safe privacy. The remarkable thing about three-season tents is that they have good resistance against light rains, but they are not suitable for snow and heavy rains, as well as wind and storms. If you are going to camp in such weather, four-season tents that are suitable for bad water conditions And it is suggested to design for weather such as strong wind and storm, heavy snowfall and rain.
Material of travel tent
One of the most important factors for choosing a tent is its material, which of course affects its price. In general, you should pay attention to two points in this case: 1- Fabric type 2- Rod type
Fabric: Fabric:
Travel tent fabrics can be tarpaulin, nylon, polyester, PVC and polyurethane with UPV coating. Tents made of tarpaulin fabric do not have breathability, but polyester and PVC fabrics have the characteristic of breathability, which have different levels of breathability depending on how thin or thick they are. Another important point is whether the tent fabric is waterproof or not. It is true that tents that are not waterproof are also available in the market and by the way, they are cheaper, but a tent that is not waterproof is practically useless, so be aware of this point and consider it when buying a tent.
Material: Bar:
The type of rod affects the weight and volume of the tent. Rod tents are made of metal, aluminum, fiberglass and PVC. PVC material is used for inflatable tent tubes. In the case of metal and aluminum, the important thing is that they are rustproof. Of course, aluminum has higher resistance and is unbreakable, so it is better than fiberglass and has less weight and volume.
Ease of installation:
The speed and ease of installation for travel tents in camping is an important point for everyone, because according to this factor, there are different types of tents. In terms of ease of installation, tents include: instant tents, pole tents and inflatable tents.
