All about tents "Bear"
Without a high-quality reliable tent, it is difficult to imagine winter fishing. The tent will hide the fisherman from rain and wind and will allow you to comfortably linger near a promising reservoir for a long time. The stores offer a wide range of various winter tents, among which the domestic production "Medved" is especially popular.
Description
Models "Bear" meet all the requirements of winter fishing. The tents are quickly assembled and folded thanks to a semi-automatic duralumin mechanism. Border-frill width - 200 mm, which provides not only additional protection from the wind, but also makes it possible to install the product on the ice surface.
Medved products are distinguished by high quality materials and good insulating properties that do not let wind and moisture inside. The raw materials used in production prevent the accumulation of condensate on the walls. In addition, the materials transmit sunlight well, and the fisherman can follow the float in complete comfort.
The temporary shelter closes with a large two-way zipper, which users recommend waxing immediately after purchase so that the mechanism does not malfunction during operation.
Of considerable importance for connoisseurs of outdoor recreation is the weight of the equipment. So, tents "Bear" are relatively small in weight, on average they weigh 3.8 kg. The dimensions of the tent in the case are only 120 cm, which ensures its convenient transportation. The product comes with a drawstring pouch and a shoulder strap.
Tents for winter fishing can be two- and three-layer. In the first case, the outer layer protects the product from wind and precipitation, and the quality of the inner layer determines the preservation of heat, usually the inner layer is made of breathable fabric. In the case of a three-layer copy, the intermediate layer is a synthetic winterizer. For fishing in harsh winter conditions, it is recommended to give preference to three-layer samples.
According to the observations of fishermen, the difference between the external and internal temperatures in such tents reaches 8 degrees.
What is a cube tent?
Models in the form of a cube produced by "Medved" are quite common among fans of winter fishing. Such a product is characterized by a large size, thanks to which 3 people can comfortably accommodate inside. But it is worth remembering that such tents also have an increased mass - up to 8 kg.
The installation of a cube tent is similar to the process of assembling a standard tent. "Medved" offers models that unfold in a semi-automatic mode. If you pull on the special loops located on the sides of the specimen, the product will decompose itself, and then the fisherman will only have to fix the "house" on the ice. Under the so-called dome inside the sample there is a hook provided for the installation of a lantern or lamp. On the walls there are 8 pockets for fishing and other accessories.
The entrance opens and closes with a two-way zipper.On the outside, the fastener is protected by a fabric strip, which prevents cold air from penetrating inside through the fittings. And also thanks to such protection, snow does not clog into the mechanism. The lapel can be fixed on its side along the inner or outer wall so that the entrance does not spontaneously close during fishing. The "Bear" cube tent has a zippered window on the ceiling, through which smells and steam from a lit burner are released into the air.

Reviews
Buyers speak positively about the models of cube tents produced by Medved. So, the use of the Bear Cub-2 tent left a good impression. It is noted that the product does not release heat, it is convenient to be in it together, but with the advent of the third person it becomes a bit crowded. The fishermen appreciated the fact that the outer and inner layers do not come into contact, due to which the inner layer always remains dry, and when the kettle is boiled, fog is not formed.
According to lovers of winter recreation, pockets on the walls are very convenient, but still there are not enough hooks, for example, to hang a hat to dry. A lot of people work this out on their own without any problems.
The fishermen also respond well to the Bear Cub-3 model. Despite the fact that this tent is inferior in size to products from other manufacturers, it is still valued more. For example, for the correct square shape.In comparison with trapezoidal specimens, this one is much more convenient, a rather roomy space is formed inside. In general, in the circle of fishermen, the Bear tents are considered modern models, and therefore more functional.
Of the minuses, poor-quality delivery stands out when ordering via the Internet from the official website. There were cases when the cover was damaged during transportation, although the tent itself was in good condition.
