Buying tents will quickly drown yourself into the world of unfamiliar terms, trying to understand that this means that DFC has a Weld Bath Tub floor in the pyramid. Our guide about these terms is that you need to understand.
Single/double wall: A double wall tent is the most common, which includes the internal tent (wall 1) and rain (wall 2) between you and the elements. There is a wall tent, Um, a wall. The advantage of a wall tent is that it is light. The advantage of a double -wall tent is that thick (usually) avoids the outer wall and when you are sleeping, you do not drop. We recommend both types.
Freatending: Does the tent stand on its own or do you have to put it at stake? If it stands itself through stress, it is a fresh standing tent. If that doesn’t happen, it is not. There are also some hybrid designs, which are often called semi -frosting, where you just have to stay out of one end.
When I started this guide, I was firmly in a freshing camp. Freshing felt easier to deal with tents, and in some ways they are. Most of these days camping tents are free standings. After examining dozens of non -festive tents, I realized that freshing is not as a big benefit as I thought. You have to keep it out of your tent when you are pitching it. If you are expecting wind or rain, you would like to do it anyway, whether your tent is “free standing”. The biggest negative aspect of non -frosting or semi -frosting tents is that once you can’t move them easily, they cannot move easily.
Vistile: In a double wall tent, the rain is usually left away from the door of the internal tent. It left a place that is not I The tent is still safe from rain and elements. Vesseble is a good place to release wet gear and cook when it rains, and it helps to make a small tent feel huge. Generally, the bigger the vestable, the better.
Dcf/cubin fiber: Dyneema Comprehensive Fiber (DCF) is also known as Cuban fiber. Both are the terms of the industry for the tents made of Danima, which are a very strong, very light fabric. It is also very expensive and can be disturbed by the curink, but when it goes to light as possible, the DCF is difficult to upset. For the complete error of all materials used in tents, see the tent content below.
The height of the peak: How tall is the tent in its high place. Depending on the shape of the tent, it may be helpful or not, but it can indicate how much headroom you have in the tent. Although in a pole tents, the peak height is usually high, but the slopes are rapidly removed, meaning that you do not have as much headroom as you think the number can return.
Door: Two people and big tents need two gates. It is not fun for anyone to climb your hiking partner in the middle of the night. I have recently tested that every two individuals and the larger tents have two doors, but some also have a second full -sized vastable, which is good.
