Triple tents: popular models and recommendations for choosing

Sooner or later, every person has a desire to get out into nature, to change the environment. You should not ignore such desires, especially since such a vacation will be useful. No matter what the ultimate goal of such a sortie, you will need certain equipment. It must include a tent. Considering that solo trips are rare, the most popular option among all tents are three-person models.

Going out into nature without a tent for more than a few hours is not worth it. It can protect you from almost any weather conditions - heat, cold, wind, precipitation. In addition, the tent is quite capable of becoming an obstacle to insects and small animals. You can place things and supplies in it. Awnings, canopies, huts and similar structures are unlikely to be compared in terms of comfort with a good tent. Another tent as a temporary analogue of a dwelling provides psychological comfort, enhances the atmosphere of security. For the first time in nature, many experience a feeling of anxiety - a good company in a comfortable environment will help to cope with this.

Based on the name, a three-person tent is designed to accommodate a certain number of people. But a company of four people can easily fit in it, especially if there are children among them.On the surface of the floor for spending the night, each needs at least 55 cm, plus additional passages between sleeping places are needed.

In reality, if you wish, you can make room and accommodate more compactly. Two people in a three-seat model will feel more spacious. But it will be more difficult to heat the extra space. Yes, and it is easier to distribute the weight of all equipment between a large number of satellites.

Buying a larger tent for three people is not worth it for the same reasons. It is better to estimate the capacity of the tent soberly.

In order to choose the right tent according to your needs, you need to have at least a general idea of ​​what options you can find in the store. Among them you can find both models with a frame and frameless. More modern options among the frame are structures that resemble a half-barrel or a hemisphere. The first is more convenient to stay in it, and the second has better indicators of mobility and resistance to difficult weather conditions. Depending on the purpose of the trip, there are the following types of triple tents.

• extreme – they take it with them in appropriate conditions. For example, for climbing in mountainous areas, where there is no possibility of a good position and at the same time there is a threat of bad weather. For them, compactness (both in the folded and in the installed state), strength, tightness, stability and low weight are important.

• camping - Designed for relaxation with the greatest possible comfort. Usually it is placed more thoroughly and for a certain time.Accordingly, this option will be more spacious and stuffed with all sorts of devices. The weight will be impressive, transportation by car is necessary. Most often, such tent camps are set up for the duration of events - festivals, competitions, etc.

• Camping (tourist) - an easier option. Compared to the above, it is average in terms of weight and reliability. Of course, the conditions and difficulty of the hike can be different, so the equipment must be appropriate.

Conventionally, tents can be divided into summer, winter and all-weather. If the tent will be used in the cold season, its awning should be waterproof, insulated, with additional protection at the bottom against drafts and a hole for the stove. Ideally, its dimensions should be as small as possible (so the interior space is easier to heat). Installation in this case should be quick and easy. And for a summer tent, not only the quality and properties of the material, but also good ventilation should be of much greater importance.

In addition, tents can be:

• two-layer;
• single layer.

The first option is not only more reliable in the fight against various manifestations of the environment, but also saves from excessive moisture and accumulated condensate (as a result, it lingers in the space between the layers). The second option is more affordable than two-layer tents.

A special place is occupied by tents equipped with mechanisms that allow you to spend no more than a minute on their assembly. They are also called automatic or semi-automatic. Professionals or store consultants can tell you more about the operation of the mechanisms. However, judging by the reviews, Self-folding tent-machine is gaining more and more popularity. In favor of such instances are not only the speed and ease of installation, but also the reliability of the design, combined with ergonomics. At the same time, one should not say that ordinary tents lose to them in some way. It will just be more difficult for beginners to deal with them. Yes, and time-tested simplicity has its advantages, especially in severe weather conditions.

In addition to the awning, frame and bottom, the package may include additional elements:

• multiple inputs;
• vestibules;
• pockets;
• window;
• mosquito net;
• protective skirts (from drafts on the floor).

Triple tents may vary in size. It depends on the manufacturer. In width, on average, they do not exceed 1.8-2 meters. This value is optimal for three people. The height depends on the shape of the tent and is usually around 1.2 -1.3 meters. The next parameter is the weight of the product when folded. Insulated options will be heavier than usual ones, as well as tents with all kinds of additional elements - vestibules, skirts, etc. They certainly make life in natural conditions more pleasant, but their necessity can be called into question.

Based on user ratings and reviews, among three-seater models, you can pay attention to the following names.

• If all the equipment will be delivered to the location by transport, the weight can be almost any. If you should rely only on your own strength, this characteristic becomes significant.
• The most popular are models designed for summer and off-season. If the plans include a hike in the cold period, you need a specialized option (with insulation, two-layer).
• Since the weather is difficult to predict, it is better to opt for a more sustainable option with a high moisture resistance of the awning and sealed seams.
• When purchasing a model with a large number of additional details, you should carefully evaluate their need. After all, they will not only add weight, but also affect the cost.
• You should not focus only on the popularity of the brand or its value. These indicators do not always become synonymous with quality. At the same time, it is better not to purchase products whose price is much lower than the average.
