Tents for rest

To ensure that the long-planned recreation in nature is not hopelessly spoiled due to weather whims, you should pay proper attention to choosing a temporary shelter - a tent. People who lead a healthy lifestyle sooner or later necessarily think about buying or renting a tent. About the types of tents for outdoor recreation you can learn from our review.

Types of tents for recreation

So, what kind of tents are there? First of all, they are divided according to their purpose:

  1. Camping tents - large spacious tents for rest, where you can not only spend the night, but also spend time during the day. Such tents are of sufficient height, so that even the tallest man can straighten himself up to their full height. In addition, camping tents are equipped with windows and a tambour, which makes staying in them even more comfortable. But, as it happens, for additional comfort, you also have to pay extra - camping tents are quite expensive, have an impressive weight and therefore are not suitable for hiking - putting them in a backpack , even the most capacious, is unlikely to work.
  2. Tracking tents are medium sized and relatively lightweight tents that are designed for overnight stays during hiking or cycling in the flat terrain. Such tents for rest are easily installed and dismantled, there are different capacities (1-, 2-, 4-local). The only drawback of tracking tents is their inability to protect themselves from severe weather - strong winds and torrential rain.
  3. Assault tents - small tents, designed for active tourists, who prefer high-altitude climbing and long hikes on rough terrain. Since every gram of carry cargo plays a part in hiking, the weight of assault tents is minimized to the limit by using the lightest and most durable materials. In addition, their design is designed in such a way as to provide maximum protection against changes in temperature, wind and precipitation.

Tents also have such a parameter as seasonality. By seasonality, it is common to distinguish between tents for recreation of three types:

  1. Summer - designed for relaxation in the warm season. Summer tents are made of lightweight breathable materials, and their design is designed in such a way as to ensure maximum ventilation.
  2. Three - season - tents, designed to meet all needs during the three main tourist seasons: spring, summer and autumn. Such tents are made of strong materials that can provide protection from spring-autumn frosts and rain, wind and dust. For the summer period, in the three-season tents, the possibility of additional ventilation is considered.
  3. Winter - the most reliable and stable tents, designed for recreation in winter conditions. Winter tents are made of materials with increased strength, quickly decompose, and all elements in them are thought out in such a way as to ensure maximum heat savings.

Tents for recreation are also different in design:

  1. The hemisphere is the most reliable and stable species The design of tents, suitable for use even in extreme conditions. Arcs in a hemispherical tent cross at an angle, creating a dome and providing maximum protection against bad weather.
  2. Polubochka - a design that provides maximum capacity. The arcs in the tent of the "half-roll" type are parallel to each other. But such tents are not very stable and poorly protected from rain and wind.
  3. The house is a classical tent construction, which has sufficient capacity and protective qualities. The main disadvantage of tent-lodges is a rather complicated design, requiring certain skills for installation.
