The Perfect Camping Tent - Outdoors - Camping

The best way to enjoy any camping trip is to have the perfect gear for the occasion. One vital camping gear that a camper needs is the camping tent. This serves as the camper's resting place after a day of exploring the great outdoors. In addition, the camping tent will be the one to shelter you from the cold air and mosquito bites when you sleep at night, or when a heavy rain suddenly falls. Thus, it is important for the camper to choose the appropriate camping tent before he/she embarks on a camping trip.In choosing the perfect camping tent, one should consider the following factors: weather-resistant fabric, protected seams, waterproof floors, leak-resistant seams, zipper pro-tection, and wind strong frame. Weather-resistant fabrics are achieved by combining polyester coated fabric with anti-wicking thread, webbing, and zippers, while water-proof floors are by welding technology. Wind strong frames are made from redesigned poles and guy-out triangles while cuffs are add ed to the zippers to ensure zipper protection. These factors can be found in one brand of camping gears, Coleman.

Coleman is an outdoor company that manufacture different types of equipments and gears intended for outdoor activities like hunting, camping, fishing, and mountaineering. One their products are camping tents.

Coleman tents are generally divided into eight categories: 3 season and 4 season, cabin tents, lightweight backpacking tents, canvas tents and family camping tents.

Tents for camping are generally classified based on three factors: the weather they can with stand, physical appearance, and their size. Some of the tents are: three-season and four-season tents, warm weather tents, convertible tents, and bivy tents. The Three-season ones are lightweight and are advisable to use only during spring, summer and fall, because it is not made to last during harsh weather conditions. On the other hand, four-season ones are made with more support, usually heavier, and can with stand harsh weather conditions like hard or heavy snow.
