How to Choose a Tent That Suits You?

When we go camping or practice outside for work, study, etc., we always need to deal with tents. There are many types of tents on the market. How should we choose them? Many people have been struggling for a long time and have not determined their goals. In fact, they can try to measure their needs from several key dimensions and then choose tents.

When we choose a tent, the most important thing is waterproofness. After all, we set up tents in the wild mainly to shelter from wind and rain. If we don’t pay attention to waterproofness, if it rains or there is dew, it will enter the inside of the tent. It basically makes no sense to set up a tent or not. So when you choose a tent, the higher the waterproof coefficient, the better the use effect, and it can also prevent rain and dew from entering the inside of the tent, and it can also withstand strong winds and rainstorms.

In addition to the importance of waterproofness, breathability also needs to be paid attention to. When setting up a tent in the wild, the most feared thing is moisture. If the tent is not breathable, it will condense into water droplets due to the cold outside and warm inside. These water droplets will appear inside and outside the tent, affecting daily use. So when we choose a tent, it is best to choose a tent with a screen window or a door in the front and back. This kind of tent has higher air permeability and better use effect.

When buying a tent, we also need to pay attention to the size of the tent and how many people in the family will use it. If there are four people in the family, it is best to choose a six-person tent; if there are two people in the family, choose a four-person tent, and so on. When buying a tent, try to buy a larger one if you can, and don’t buy a tent that is too small. It is not practical to buy a tent that is too small.

The height of the tent affects our posture and mobility. It is best to choose a height where we can walk upright in the tent, or we can lower our heads slightly. Never buy a height that requires lying or bending over. Our activities in the tent at this height will be restricted and very uncomfortable.

When choosing a tent, the weight of the tent also needs to be considered. Generally, for parent-child camping, there is no need to buy too heavy one, which is troublesome to move around; if you like outdoor sports and are a senior outdoor camping enthusiast, you can buy some professional camping equipment.
