In recent years, camping has become a popular activity for many people to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and get close to nature. However, the problem of camping equipment often gives people a headache. Today, the editor will tell you how to choose a tent and provide a list of 7 recommended tents in one article!
The choices of tents are diverse and varied, from one-room-one-hall styles to quick-pitch tents that emphasize speed of setup. They differ in material, design, and weight. So, how do you choose a suitable tent? The editor will introduce seven models below. Of course, Decathlon tents and Coleman tents also have many supporters online. You might as well choose a suitable tent for yourself according to your needs!
The number of people using the tent will affect the selection. It's better to overestimate rather than underestimate; select a tent that can accommodate at least 1-2 more people than your estimated number. Because a larger tent size provides relatively more space, it won't be restrictive when camping if you have many camping items.
The setup speed of a tent depends on its structural design. If you are a novice camper, it is recommended not to choose a tent that is too complex.
Because camping is generally outdoors, facing variable weather or the uncertainty of the climate in mountainous or high-altitude campsites, choosing a tent that is truly windproof, rainproof, and waterproof is almost the most important aspect of camping equipment, and it is recommended that the tent frame also be made of aluminum alloy as much as possible.
Because many campsites are inconvenient to access, especially in remote locations or mountainous areas, and generally when camping, a lot of camping equipment needs to be carried. Therefore, the convenience of carrying during transport must also be considered.
Regarding budget, that is definitely one of the factors that needs to be considered the most! Especially for novice campers who are just starting to camp, they are certainly not as professional as seasoned campers. At this time, you might as well choose an affordable tent that suits you. Then, when you really develop a passionate interest in camping, consider a more professional tent!
Next, the editor will compile a list of the TOP 7 tent recommendations for 2024. From entry-level models with high cost-effectiveness to more comprehensive professional models, whether you are a newbie trying camping for the first time or a veteran seeking to upgrade your equipment, there is always one for you here.
