Tents Tramp: features and variety of models

Depending on how many people go hiking or traveling (by bicycle or on foot), they will need a place to sleep. A tent is the most suitable shelter for a safe overnight stay and halts - especially for travelers who do not want to go broke in a hotel barn, losing several thousand rubles for one overnight stay.

Tents are selected by several parameters.

• Type of building: a cube, an umbrella, a tent-chum, a classic tent or an army version. Umbrella is the lowest budget option.

• Number of beds - depending on the number of group members, this is double, triple and quadruple. If you need a common tent for five or six, and you don’t want to split into tents, you can use a non-standard solution like double cube, but this tent has difficulty airing and protecting against mosquitoes, it is still recommended to use tourist or camping umbrellas, and not fishing cube.

• Purpose: fishing, camping, camping, etc. There are additional “hybrid” varieties.

• By the number of protective layers: single, double or triple layer. To produce tents with a large number of layers is no longer justified.

• By design: with manual assembly and semi-automatic. The frame material is fiberglass, steel and aluminum. Moreover, steel is used as a material for the manufacture of clamps, rings, tips and springs, and not the main part of the frame - it is too heavy for the supporting structure to be made entirely from it.

• Watertight outdoor awning: it can range from 800 to 10,000 mm. waters Art. The floor of the tent is made of reinforced synthetic, which can withstand 10,000 units of water resistance, since the ground may be wet from rain, and a person always needs a dry place. But even the cheapest water-repellent impregnation with a water pressure limit of 800 units is able to withstand almost any rainfall in Russian conditions.

For tourists and (cycling) walkers, the best option is camping and tourist tents, since a heavy army or "cubic" tent weighing 10-20 kg is unlikely to be carried by anyone. Yes, and not just a bike withstand 110 kg, when the rider in itself is well-fed and pumped up.

Most of the tents are still not suitable for winter travel in northern Russia. If your goal is winter trips to the fierce frosts of the taiga and tundra, then use, for example, the same three-layer cube, not tourist models.

Tramp Bicycle Light - single tent for "light running" - single. Enjoys great popularity among cyclists, traveling alone in Russia mainly in the summer. The one-arc construction made of durapol with drawbacks allows the traveler to stand or stand overnight in hard-to-reach places, for example, in the foothill areas where the slope is oblique and there are few suitable sites. There are 2 entrances required by the security requirements.

In calm weather, the design is put and without stretch marks. You can put inside shoes with a backpack, folding bike (ultra-compact model).

The tent can withstand showers with water pressure up to 5000 mm. The water resistance of the bottom is 7000 mm, but such a tent is hardly suitable for spending the night in swampy and abundant areas. The floor is bent up - to increase resistance to moisture leakage.Modern D-shaped doors on two-zip fasteners will provide quick opening of the tent even in case of full employment of hands. The inner compartment is installed after the installation of the primary awning.

4-seater tent Tramp Stalker 4 V2 - a two-layer (three-season) product with a large vestibule already 1.2 m, the smaller one is the same as in the previous version.
