Backpacking Tent use: used for short-term living in the wild for outdoor activities and camping.

Backpacking tent structure:

The technical indicators of waterproof fabrics are subject to the degree of waterproofing

Water-repellent is only coated with AC or PU on the outside. Generally only used for children or game accounts

Waterproof 300MM is generally used for beach tents/shade tents or cotton tents for drought and little rain

Waterproof 800MM-1200MM for conventional simple camping tents

Waterproof 1500MM-2000MM is used for relatively mid-range tents, which need to travel for many days

Waterproof above 3000MM is generally a professional tent, which has been treated with high temperature/cold resistance technology.
Bottom material: Generally, PE is the most common, and the quality mainly depends on its thickness and warp and weft density. It is better to use high-end Oxford fabrics, and the waterproof treatment must be at least 1500MM.

the Inner fabric: generally breathable nylon or breathable cotton. The quality mainly depends on its density



2. Support frame:

the common one is glass fiber tube. Measuring its quality is more professional and more important.

3. Features:
Backpacking tents should belong to collective equipment, owned by people who often participate in outdoor activities and often have practical needs. Newcomers can participate in some activities, and then purchase according to their own needs after having certain experience. The purchase of tents is mainly based on the purpose, considering its design, material, wind resistance, and then considering the capacity (how many people can sleep), weight, etc. Ordinary camping tents mostly adopt the yurt style, with 2-3 carbon fiber tent poles, which provide better rainproof performance and certain windproof performance, and have better air permeability. Most of the four-season tents or alpine tents are tunnel-type, with more than 3 aluminum alloy tent poles, and there are many auxiliary designs such as ground nails and windproof ropes. The materials are more durable. But many alpine tents are not rainproof, and they are usually too heavy to be suitable for weekend outdoor travel (except in extreme winter environments). The climate conditions in spring, summer and autumn in the surrounding areas of Beijing are not too complicated, and the main characteristics of winter are high cold and strong wind.

1. Classification of camping tents:
In terms of structure, camping tents mainly include triangle (also called herringbone), dome-shaped (also called yurt-shaped) and house-shaped (also called family-shaped). In terms of structure, it can be divided into single-layer structure, double-layer structure and composite structure, and in terms of space size, it can be divided into two-person, three-person and multi-person. Most of the triangular camping tents are double-layered structures with more complex supports, and have better wind resistance, warmth retention, and rain resistance, and are suitable for mountaineering and exploration. The dome-shaped camping tent is easy to set up, easy to carry, light in weight, and suitable for general leisure travel.

In terms of categories, camping tents mainly include: stand-type camping tents (also known as ordinary tourist tents), military inflatable tourist tents (inflatable frame-type camping tents), compared with general stand tents, they are lighter in body, faster in erection, and stable in product quality. It has the characteristics of high performance, strong shear and diversion wind, no rainwater storage, small volume after folding, convenient and easy to carry, etc. And it has the characteristics of high strength, good stability, small volume after folding, and convenient transportation and carrying.

2. Pay attention when purchasing camping tents: general outings are light, easy to set up, and cheap. Its waterproof, wind-resistant, and warm-keeping properties are secondary, and it is suitable for general small family travel.

Mountain travel must first have a certain degree of waterproof, rainproof, wind resistance and thermal performance, and secondly, the price. Portability and support method issues. Mainly double-layered triangles, weighing 3-5 kg, suitable for a wide range of camping and four-season travel.

For mountaineering adventures, the first thing to consider is the performance of warmth, wind resistance, portability and ease of support, and the second is the price factor. This kind of tent has good performance and high price, and the weight is less than 5 kg, which is suitable for use under harsh natural conditions.

There are other types of tents in order to meet the needs and use of various environments. Fishing tent, half-round type, used for shade and temporary rest. Awning, a sunshade tool for general tourism.

4. If you are not familiar with how to set up a tent in the wild or have insufficient parts, you will not be able to enjoy outdoor life. So before the event, practice how to build it at home and check whether the parts are enough, it is best to bring a few more. Except for large house-shaped tents, most tents can be set up by yourself. After you practice setting up the tent, apply waterproofing agent on the outer layer of the tent to prevent rainwater from leaking in from the seams.
