Spoilt for choice which tent is the right one?
Good news:
Today you will find almost any design style! Bad news: This doesn‘t make
easier for you to find the right tent. To shed some light on this issue we have
compiled information to help you find the right tent for you.
Consider your requirements for the new tent as these will determine the pa-
cked size, interior height, level of comfort, weight, features and, of course, the
price. All the tents we offer have one common feature high quality. The tents
are very rugged, easy to handle and absolutely waterproof.
Tent shapes:
Each tent shape has specific benefits and disadvantages. Dome and geodesic
tents are free-standing tents. You don‘t need any pegs. This is important if
you set up the tent on sand, snow or rock. Tunnel tents are the most spacious
ones in relation to floor size, are easy to set up, but in any case you will need
strong fixing points such as pegs, stones or tent anchors.
Design:
Today, single wall tents are no longer very popular as the disadvantage is that
condensed water collects on the tent‘s inner side and drips onto the floor.
This does not happen with cotton or membrane tents (e.g. Marmot Alpinist).
With double wall tents moisture penetrates the uncoated inner tent material,
condenses on the watertight outer tent and runs down to the bottom.
If the poles are fixed to the inner tent, it can be set up without the outer tent.
This will protect you against any insects flying or crawling around in hot
nights. If the poles are fixed to the outer tent, the inner tent erects automati-
cally together with the outer tent. This is an advantage if the weather is bad.
Materials:
Nylon is a material having the best tensile strength and abrasion resistance in
relation to its weight. We only offer Rip-stop nylon tents as this material offers
utmost tensile strength and tear resistance. Our polyester tents are a little bit
heavier and not as strong and abrasion-resistant as the more expensive nylon
tents. There are huge difference in quality between the tents available on the
market. Here too, great care was taken to select the best materials and tents
with high-quality finish.
Please note that this is only a rough overview. We would be very happy to help
you to find the right tent.
