A single tent is an inalienable attribute of every tourist and mountaineer

A single tourist tent is included in thethe category of the most popular equipment, which is used by single tourists, extremals, trenches, as well as people engaged in tracking. As a rule, the characteristics of a particular model are determined by the specific conditions of its use. So, if a traveler wants to make an ascent, then when choosing a tent, he will first of all pay attention to its technical characteristics, namely the strength of the material, the presence of storm ebbs and others. Another example - a tourist will have a solitary hike in a humid climate. The prime characteristics that his one-man tent should have is lightness and good waterproof qualities.

In fact, the parameters for choosing such aequipment, designed for one person, much more. We recommend first of all to pay attention to the material. What your portable home is made from, determines not only its weight and dimensions, but also the degree of protection from bad weather conditions in the form of rain or hail. In addition, an important role is played by the fact that the material "breathes". In principle, all these parameters correspond to nylon. It is a lightweight material that can pass air. In addition, it allows you to fold the tent up to a compact size.

The only serious drawback of nylon -active influence on it of ultraviolet, because of what it quickly spoils. A tent single from polyester, on the contrary, "is not afraid" of the sun, but it is heavier. Combination of all the positive qualities is polyamide (over time, the material does not burn out and slightly stretches), but it is also the most expensive option of all the above. Thus, we see that the choice of material directly depends on the specific conditions in which the single-seat tent will be operated. As for the bottom of the structure, it must necessarily be made of waterproof material. Otherwise, even the dew will cause serious discomfort. In addition, the bottom should be strong enough to withstand the prolonged mechanical impact of stones, twigs and just friction.

Tent single - easy by default, its weightdepending on the characteristics described above, can range from 1 to 1.5 kilograms. At first glance, the extra 500 grams is not such a big difference, but under certain conditions it can be significant. That is why the designs made of ultralight materials (as a rule, their weight does not exceed 1.1 kg) are an order of magnitude more expensive than their heavier counterparts.

Let's sum up. The single-seat tent is chosen primarily with an eye on the type of tourism that its owner is engaged in and the conditions in which it will be predominantly operated. In general, among the criteria that determine its characteristics are the following:

• simplicity of design;
• the weight;
• compact dimensions;
• ease of installation;
• protection from external influences of the environment;
• Possibility of installation in confined spaces.
