Choosing A Type Of Tent
It can get really confusing when buying a tent and there are different types to choose from. Dome tents, backpacking tents, weekend tents, connecting tents, tunnel tents, pop up tents, ridge tents and even geodesic tents. Pop up tents are made for ease of use when putting up, tunnel tents are designed like a tunnel, backpacking tents are compact and light to carry around, dome tents are in the style of a dome, connecting tents are designed to connect to other similar tents, geodesic tents are made for harsh weather conditions and ridge tents are the basic, traditional style. The type of style of tent you choose depends on your personal needs and how experienced you are in putting it up and how and where you are going to transport it. Think about all of these factors before making a definite choice.
Double or Single-Skinned?
When looking at tents you will see them described as either double or single skinned. If you aren’t sure what this means then read on to find out. If a tent is single skinned then it is made of one layer which is waterproof. They are often made from fabrics which are breathable allowing the correct ventilation. A double skinned tent will have an inner lining that isn’t waterproof but is generally made from mesh and an outer skin which is waterproof. Hence the outer tent protecting the inner tent from water and provides a lining which reduces condensation and helps to insulate the inside of the tent.
Double skinned tents can be more expensive and they weight more so aren’t ideal for backpackers. They offer more protection that single skinned tents and if the outer layer is damaged then you are still protected with the inner tent. A single skinned tent is lightweight and easy to carry but doesn’t offer as much protection from rain and condensation and they also provide less insulation.
