Canadian Camper IMPALA 2
Rating: 4.9
Canadian Camper IMLALA 2 is the most protected tent category of low-cost, claiming due to this the highest places in the ranking of the best. Accommodates no more than 2 people, honoring them with an internal space of 210 × 115 × 110 cm. It is made of dense nylon (awning) and polyester (bottom) fabrics, the resistance of which is 4000 and 6000 mm of water. Art. respectively. The frame is standard fiberglass, moderately hardy even for heavy winds.
As mentioned above, the main feature of Canadian Camper IMPALA 2 is entirely enclosed in measures of concomitant protection. The standard mosquito net is complemented with a single-layer refractory impregnation, as well as UV protection. All these "chips", together with the materials used, give a serious increase to the total weight of the product, but in general they do not really "pull up" the value to the ceiling - only 3.7 kg. Letting go of the unimportant details, let's say: this tent deserves to be bought more than others.
Virtues
- The optimum ratio of price and quality;
- the presence of refractory impregnation;
- reliable UV protection;
- quite comfortable to carry weight (3.7 kg);
- high stability of the frame.
disadvantages
- not found.
Talberg Explorer 2
Rating: 4.8
Double tent for hiking, the main feature of which was the balance in all key operational parameters. Structurally, it consists of two tents (outer: 220 × 250 × 107 cm; inner: 210 × 110 × 102 cm), and the inner one significantly limits the available space in width (concealing a good 140 cm). For what this is done, it is not entirely clear, but otherwise there are no controversial points.
The Talberg Explorer 2 carcass is assembled from fiberglass arches with a diameter of 8.5 mm, which withstand well the loads (mainly wind) and have sufficient operational durability. The awning and the bottom are made of two types of polyester fabrics, the water resistance of which is 5000 and 7000 mm of water. Art. respectively. The presence of two vestibules and a wind-proof visor is constructively incorporated. According to numerous consumers, this model is the most acceptable version of the tent near the middle price segment, available on the large market of our country.
Virtues
- acceptable price;
- high quality workmanship;
- reliable protection from moisture, both along the walls and along the bottom;
- the presence of two vestibules and visor.
disadvantages
- limited internal space due to the narrow inner tent.
TREK PLANET LITE DOME 4
Rating: 4.7
Extremely cheap triple tent from the company TREK PLANET, created in the exact image of the typical models of this segment. Differs lightweight design (2.2 kg), so without any problems transported on foot.Awning LITE DOME 4 is made of standard for this case polyester, which has extremely low (relative to competitors) resistance to soaking - 1000 mm of water. Art. The bottom of the tent is lined with dense polyethylene, representing the main stronghold of its water resistance: here the indicator lies in the range from 6000 to 8000 mm of water. Art.
According to consumers, the main problem of LITE DOME 4 is in non-soldered seams, which are the weakest point of the already not the very top construction. In this regard, it is advisable to use the tent only on warm summer days, without any drink on heavy rain showers and storm winds.
Virtues
- the lowest price in the segment;
- light weight (only 2.2 kg);
- the qualitative bottom possessing considerable margin of safety and resistance to moisture.
disadvantages
- no soldering (or gluing) seams;
- low coefficient of water resistance awning.
KINGCAMP FAMILY 2 + 1
Rating: 4.6
Kingcamp Family 2 + 1 is a model of production of tents for a family holiday, providing all the subtleties of delicate protection from environmental factors. With dimensions of 205 × 180 × 120 cm, it is designed to accommodate two adults and one child, and, it is worth noting, it succeeds significantly in this field.
For reasons of rationality, that the family will not go on nature on cloudy days, the manufacturers used materials with low water resistance in the manufacture. If in competitive tents, at least the bottom differed in its significant water resistance, then there are no such elements at all (polyester walls and bottom have a water resistance of 1000 and 2000 mm of water, respectively). But there is a mosquito net and an inner dome made of breathable polyester, which perfectly copes with the function of microclimate regulation. Among the shortcomings of Kingcamp Family 2 + 1, you can enter a large mass, equal to 4.2 kg. But let's be frank: the tent is only rarely transported by a person, most often being delivered to a place in a car. In general, it is not a reference, but is the best choice for a comfortable family holiday.
Virtues
- good regulation of the microclimate inside the tent;
- the provision of reserved space for the placement of the child;
- fast and trouble free installation.
disadvantages
- very low water resistance on all structural elements.
NORFIN Ruffe 2
Rating: 4.5
Norfin Ruffle 2 is a very strong trekking model of the tent, which has been used mainly in the conditions of summer camping and nearby hikes. According to the materials used, the manufacturer did not give out anything new: GRP arches form the basis of the model, the awning is made of polyester (with a water resistance of 2000 mm water. Art.), And the bottom is of reinforced polyethylene (with a water resistance indicator of 8000 mm water.). An important factor in the quality of the tent is the presence not of glued, but of the welded seams, as well as an oversure delay, provided from the standpoint of common sense.
The internal dimensions of Norfin Ruffle 2 are designed for two people and are 200 × 120 × 100 cm. In fact, this is not enough, and only one user can comfortably stay there. But there are no complaints to the shipping component of the model at all: it is rolled up to the size of 50 × 12 cm, and it doesn’t weigh too much - only 1.8 kg. Coupled with the cost of the designated operational features is enough to become one of the best tents in its segment.
Virtues
- high-quality sealing of seams using adhesions;
- good bottom material protection parameters;
- convenient shipping dimensions;
- low weight and easy installation.
disadvantages
- low awning water resistance;
- small error in the calculation of space for two people.
TOTEM SUMMER
Rating: 4.5
Tracking single-layer tent of the initial level, designed for use during the warm period of the tourist season. It has dimensions of 210 × 150 × 12 cm and weighs 1.8 kg, and allows you to comfortably accommodate two people inside.Quite low-cost polyester 75D 190T PU, reinforced polyethylene, as well as 8-mm fiberglass racks for carcass assembly were used as production materials.
An unexpected advantage of Totem Summer was that the reinforced bottom turned out to be very waterproof, capable of withstanding up to 10,000 mm of water. Art. Thus, consumers can not be afraid of water leaking under the tent installation site, but the rain slanting rains will still bring some inconvenience (water resistance of the tent is limited to 1500 mm water column). A nice addition to the kit is a very high-quality repair kit, as evidenced by almost all users of this model. A worthy candidate for getting into the ranking of the best.
Virtues
- low weight of the structure (only 1.8 kg);
- very good indicator of the water resistance of the plastic bottom;
- Official repair kit included.
disadvantages
- low level of water resistance of polyester tent.
Best tourist (trekking) tents
Alexika Rondo 4 Plus
Rating: 4.9
Summing up the results of the Alexika Rondo 4 Plus tent segment, which serves as a guarantor of users' comfortable spending time on the tourist outing. This model is made of two types of polyester with water resistance of 4000 (awning) and 6000 (bottom) mm of water. Art. respectively. The standard selection of materials for cladding "diluted" by the use of aluminum arcs that make up the frame. When paired with an anti-storm delay, it ensures a stable position of the tent at the installation site, minimizing the risk of tourists getting injuries from heavy winds.
The uniquely positive aspect of the Alexika Rondo 4 Plus construct is the presence of a whole range of protective measures: from wind and snow, penetration of mosquitoes, ultraviolet radiation and accidental ignition. Inside the tent there are pockets, as well as one shelf. In the packaged dimensions of the model are 52x20 cm, and weight - 5.1 kg. With its transportation, you can easily cope with hiking. And on delivery by car, any local difficulties will disappear altogether.
Virtues
- allows you to comfortably accommodate inside four users;
- a large number of protective properties;
- sturdy aluminum frame combined with an anti-corrosive quickdraw;
- optimal combination of price and quality.
disadvantages
- not found.
Maverick COMFORT
Rating: 4.8
Not very noticeable, but cool camping tent from Maverick, the overall quality of performance of which leaves out of business 90% of competitors by rating. This may seem strange, but the elimination of common “weak points” of the product allowed the company to successfully enter the domestic market. We are talking about sealing the seams, which, in this case, were subjected to welding, and not the usual sizing. The outer fiberglass frame of the Maverick COMFORT also looks decent: the arcs perfectly hold the polyester awning, giving it a strict hemispherical shape.
In case of a significant increase in wind, the tent is equipped with a single anti-corrosive delay. Such a drift prevention measure is sufficient to keep it in place. At the "front" entrance there are small ears, necessary for stretching the front side of the awning. They form a small semblance of a pocket, which protects users well from wind and slanting rain. Even without the additions to the design, Maverick COMFORT manages to give consumers a little more than what manufacturers prescribe. The quality, worthy a high line in a rank of the best.
Virtues
- acceptable price;
- a more costly operation to weld the joints;
- external frame and strong fiberglass arcs;
- very good shape;
- the presence of anti-storm delays;
- high degree of comfort and workmanship.
disadvantages
- not detected.
Canadian Camper RINO 3
Rating: 4.8
The tent of the original form, received the general name "semi-roll". It causes its popularity by the fact of an unusual appearance, mainly due to the successful geometry of the tambour. Hemispherical "nook" is the preamble to the main interior decoration, the dimensions of which are 210x200x130 cm.Fit in such a room can be as many as 3 people, which, in fact, RINO and calculated.
The main advantage of this tent: a high degree of protection for the entire tourist season, until the winter. This mosquito net at the entrances, and ultraviolet catchers, and snow (she windproof) skirt. At the same time, it cannot be said that Canadian Camper RINO 3 shows something outstanding in water resistance: the polyester used in this case has indicators of 4,000 and 6,000 mm of water. Art. (walls and floor). Fiberglass frame, but moderately resistant in case of heavy wind and massive precipitation. The main plus of the model is hidden in the cost parameter: in general, the tent of such a configuration should cost much more.
Virtues
- the original form, based on a small cutting off of the vestibule from the living room;
- very low price;
- high quality workmanship tents;
- the presence of wind and snow protection, mesh, trap UV rays.
disadvantages
- not found.
Husky bright 4
Rating: 4.7
The bright spot of the rating in the face of Husky Bright 4 has become a stronghold of the fortress and the quality of work of Czech masters. The finished tent received an attractive appearance, suitable for hiking in the summer and (especially) the winter seasons. In general, the lining of the model is made of polyester, moderately waterproof, especially along the bottom. This coefficient is 5000 and 8000 mm of water. Art. for tent and bottom, respectively. The inner tent is made of nylon, which conducts air flow well in both directions and ensures proper thermoregulation.
The basis of Husky Bright 4 strength is an aluminum frame, located under the fabric of the tent. There is a mosquito net, duplicating two entrances, UV protection and the necessary ventilation windows in this case. The seams are glued, and more qualitatively than in the overwhelming majority of competing firms. Of the other advantages, we can single out a small total weight (4 kg), as well as a low cost, which accompanied a large influx of domestic consumers to the product.
Virtues
- bright and catchy tent, made in red colors;
- small weight (only 4 kg);
- attractive price with nominally high quality;
- optimal thermoregulation indices;
- high level of comfort.
disadvantages
- not found.
NOVA TOUR Pamir 3 M
Rating: 4.6
The product of the development of the domestic company NOVA TOUR has turned out to be extremely simple, but in relation to the price, it has bypassed the majority of foreign competitors. Not possessing great water resistance, the polyester “Pamir” glittered with high structural strength in unstable weather conditions: the aluminum frame was tested by heavy wind with a bang. From the point of view of the organization of interior decoration, everything looks quite ascetic: the model does not have any shelves, windows and other small amenities.
However, internal scarcity is compensated by external additions. A large number of anti-storm delays clearly demonstrate the true purpose of the NOVA TOUR "Pamir". It is lightweight (weight is 3.7 kg), stable and quietly accommodates 3 people. Everything you need for a good trip.
Virtues
- the presence of several antistorm delays;
- very low price;
- reliable frame that provides a high degree of stability of the tent at the installation site;
- lightness (3.7 kg);
- very noticeable in the near-winter period.
disadvantages
- asceticism in terms of equipment.
Tramp LAIR 4 FG
Rating: 4.5
Tramp LAIR 4 FG is another example of a four-seater tent, but with a better selection of price and operating parameters. Its cost fully justifies the nominal characteristics, which was laid during the design and development. Both the bottom and awning models are made of polyester with not the most outstanding water resistance value: 4000 and 3000 mm of water. Art. respectively. With heavy showers (which are not uncommon in tourist everyday life), small leaks and traces of tissue getting wet can be observed inside. But, in general, the measure of protection from the rainy season justifies itself. There is also a passive protection in case of abnormally hot days: it is represented by an ultraviolet catcher.For other cases (except for winter), a mosquito net is provided, duplicating the entrance doors on both sides of the tent.
Strange, but when selecting a material that is virtually identical to competitors, the Tramp LAIR 4 FG turned out to be heavier by 0.5-0.7 kg. This is uncritical, but within the framework of the rating, against the background of other models, looks like a flaw. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the design and quality - the tent is definitely worth buying.
Virtues
- low cost;
- combination of protective equipment (anti-mosquito net + UV trap);
- unrestricted movement of the tent (in the presence of 2 outputs).
disadvantages
- heavy relative to typical competitors (5.2 kg of weight);
- mediocre combination of water resistance values.
Talberg Bonzer 4
Rating: 4.5
A very important feature of this tent is the external arrangement of frame arcs, which, on the one hand, visually increases the internal volume of the room, and on the other, has a positive effect on the strength of the installation. The latter, by the way, is relevant most of all: Talberg Bonzer 4 is supposed to be used in places with strong wind flows and other weather phenomena. For additional fixation in place, it is equipped with an anti-sharps brace, which is necessary in the situations indicated above.
In general, 4 people can be accommodated inside the tent, without restricting themselves in space thanks to the two doors. The layout of the interior of Talberg Bonzer 4 provided for the presence of one shelf, which can be accommodated in such a limited space as real art. Of the measures of protection against environmental factors, there is only an anti-mosquito net here - neither fireproof impregnations nor ultraviolet catchers have an awning model. In this regard, the cost of the model looks a bit overpriced, which, perhaps, is a factor in the absence of a large influx of buyers.
Virtues
- high-quality external frame, sharpened by stability during adverse weather conditions;
- the presence of anti-storm delays;
- comfortable amount of internal space;
- the presence in the tent shelves and pockets.
disadvantages
- overpriced;
- lack of passive protection measures against environmental factors.
RedFox Fox Challenger 4 Plus
Rating: 4.4
The real contender for getting into the rating is not the most popular among domestic lovers of distant hikes, but it does its job very well. RedFox Fox Challenger 4 Plus accommodates 4 people, leaving the necessary operational space for greater internal comfort. Provides reliable protection from getting wet in case of heavy rain, because both the tent and the bottom have high water resistance (7000 and 9000 mm water. Art.). There is no snow skirt, which hints at the established seasonality, but there is an anti-storm sling and anti-mosquito net, relevant in all weather conditions (the latter - except for winter).
A very right step on the part of the manufacturers was to equip the RedFox Fox Challenger 4 Plus with aluminum alloy arcs - otherwise the delay would be no more than a waste of internal resources. Such an approach to execution led to high strength indicators of the installed tent, and also markedly increased the user safety.
Virtues
- good indicators of water resistance of the tent and bottom;
- large dimensions of the inner room;
- counterstorming delay in tent equipment;
- high-quality frame that can withstand significant loads.
disadvantages
- high price.
Top camping tents
Alexika Victoria 10
Rating: 4.9
Alexika Victoria 10 - a different level of comfort when going on a group trip. This colossal (in every sense) tent resembles a field hut exposed during any large-scale local action. It is not the best comparison, but it completely describes the dimensions of the model, which can accommodate up to 10 people.
The main difference between such large tents from, say, doubles, is the need to ensure a greater degree of “liberty” - if you will, the same notorious comfort. In this regard, polyester awning (water resistance of 4000 mm of water.Art.) was equipped with two windows, a central canopy and wide side entrances, so as not to limit people in space. As a measure of protection, a mosquito net, a single-layer refractory impregnation and a UV catcher are mandatory. The total weight of this design reaches 24 kg, and therefore the question of the method of transportation over long distances does not even rise.
Virtues
- huge tent capacity (up to 10 people);
- reserve space for comfortable stay inside the tent;
- visual expansion of space due to side doors;
- large canopy over the central entrance;
- Observation of all possible protection measures: fireproof impregnation, mosquito net, protection from UV rays.
disadvantages
- not found.
Husky Boston 8
Rating: 4.8
Camping eight-place scarf in the form of a half-bow is a very strange model, the dimensions of which are in no way combined with the total weight. An alternative to all previous products with parameters 750x260x185 cm has a mass of 12.5 kg, which suggests an initial thought about the mediocrity of facing materials. Oddly enough, but the theory is fundamentally at odds with reality: the combination of nylon and polyester turns out to be quite durable, even if it cannot please with high resistance to water (3000 and 5000 mm of water. Art. On the walls and bottom, respectively). However, in this case it is not the most important.
The main parameter of Husky Boston 8 is comfort, which is in abundance here. The fact is that the internal section is divided into two equivalent rooms, each of which ideally accommodates four people. Coupled with four outputs, which are duplicated by mosquito nets, this configuration does not restrict the movement of people.
Virtues
- very light model;
- rational division of the total area into two separate rooms;
- excellent thermoregulation, creating comfortable conditions for staying inside the tent;
- doors on all sides of the awning.
disadvantages
- high price, not fully relevant content.
Canadian Camper GRAND CANYON 4
Rating: 4.8
By the will of user preferences, the next line of the ranking goes to the Canadian Camper GRAND CANYON 4 tent. Designed for four people, it has a very massive appearance, fully confirming this with an impressive weight: as much as 11.2 kg. Polyester with a water resistance of 4000 and 6000 mm of water was used here as a tent and bottom. Art. respectively. The frame, according to the standard, is made of fiberglass, strong enough to withstand a large mass of walls.
From the pleasant little things Canadian Camper GRAND CANYON 4 it should be noted the presence of fire-resistant impregnation, mosquito nets and UV protection. There is no snow skirt, but these are rather flaws of strict seasonality than a constructive minus. A slightly strange decision from the manufacturers was the manufacture of three doors at once, especially in view of the presence of one single room inside. However, this nuance does not interfere with the vital activity of tourists - a comfortable pastime in nature with GRAND CANYON 4 is guaranteed.
Virtues
- strong fiberglass frame;
- visual expansion of the internal space with the help of a three-door structure;
- high degree of comfort;
- abundance of protective equipment (against fire, ultraviolet radiation, mosquitoes and other insects);
- The optimum ratio of price and quality.
disadvantages
- large mass for a four-seater tent.
Tramp BREST 9
Rating: 4.7
Tramp BREST 9 is a non-standard tent with a high degree of protection, which became its “calling card” when hit in the rating. Despite decent, but in general, very average water resistance (4000 and 8000 mm water. Art. On the tent and bottom, respectively), it provides reliable protection from fire (due to refractory impregnation) and ultraviolet radiation. Also in the arsenal of the model has a snow skirt and a mosquito net, which indicates the intended use throughout the year.
As for the interior decoration of Tramp BREST 9, it is worth noting the presence of a shelf and internal pockets, as well as the division of a large area (580x400x200 cm) into three separate rooms.Very appropriate here looks and canopy, located above the only exit. The total weight of this design is 14.4 kg, which is a trifle for a nine-person tent.
Virtues
- sharpening on protective properties (fire-resistant impregnation, protection from ultraviolet rays, snow and windproof skirt, mosquito net);
- the presence of pockets and shelves inside the tent;
- carport over the central entrance;
- optimal weight of the structure;
- possibility of comfortable movement on the internal area.
disadvantages
- not found.
Maverick TOURER 400
Rating: 4.7
A very strong representative of the camping tent segment, ranked in the ranking due to the very high reliability indicators. It has a series of point constructive improvements, the main of which is the combined use of dissimilar materials as a framework. The base is a combination of fiberglass arcs (diameter 12.7 mm) and aluminum profiles with a cross section of 19 mm. Racks under the visor, in turn, are made of 19 mm steel, and remote arches of the sleeping compartment are made of 11 mm fiberglass rod.
An important factor in the reliability of the Maverick Tourer 400 is a way to seal the seams. In this case, we are talking about welding - many competitors try not to waste money on such an operation. Each wall of the tent is made of polyester of varying degrees of density and is duplicated (in places of structural holes) with a mosquito net. To protect against snow and wind, it provides a special 20-centimeter skirt. In the end, all this splendor has only one major drawback, not counting the high face value: 20 kg of weight - too much for hiking.
Virtues
- a combination of materials to build a tent frame (fiberglass + aluminum arc);
- metal racks under the visor (aka canopy) above the central entrance;
- treatment of welds by welding;
- the presence of a wide wind and snow skirt.
disadvantages
- large tent weight (20 kg).
Talberg Base 4
Rating: 4.6
Talberg Camping Quadruple Tent is a sample of the balance of technical characteristics laid in the very early stages of design and development. Despite the rather mediocre indicators of water resistance (polyester wall and polyethylene floor have indicators in 4000 and 5000 mm of water. Art. Respectively), the tent wins in the components of additional equipment. Understanding the changeable nature of weather conditions, as well as the scope of sales geography, manufacturers equipped the model with an anti-storm pull in case of increased winds, as well as a snow-protective skirt.
In their reviews, users often note the originality of the barrel-shaped Talberg Base 4. Its internal area is surrounded by a dense membrane that divides the tent exactly in half. There are two exits, provided for greater ease of movement. In general, it makes a very good impression, complementing it with an appropriate price.
Virtues
- acceptable price;
- the presence of anti-storm delays, snow protection skirts and mosquito nets;
- high quality of processing of seams;
- canopy over the entrance, protecting from precipitation and direct sunlight;
- original barrel shape.
disadvantages
- average values of water resistance.
Indiana Sierra 6
Rating: 4.5
The Sierra 6 Camping Shawl from Indiana is a constant participant in the ratings of the best, distinguished by ergonomics and sharpness for comfort. Awning, made of polyester, has a water resistance of 3000 mm of water. Art., providing even not the most intense, but satisfactory protection from moisture. The bottom of the tent, made of reinforced polyethylene, has a much higher water resistance (10,000 mm water column).
Structurally, the internal volume of the Indiana Serra 6 is divided into two sections, each of which has its own door.There is no mosquito net, but there is a windproof skirt and a pocket, forming a kind of vestibule. The nominal weight of the structure is 11.3 kg, necessitating transportation by car. At cost, this model is very loyal to consumers, even despite some appreciation over the past few years.
Virtues
- low cost;
- optimum reliability and durability;
- the highest water resistance of a polyethylene floor (10,000 mm aq. Art.);
- rational division of the total internal space into two sections with a personal door to the outside;
- availability of additional means of protection from wind and snow.
disadvantages
- mediocre water resistance of the walls (3000 mm water. Art.).
Btrace Ruswell 6
Rating: 4.5
Continues the list of the best strong six-seat Ruswell 6 tent from Btrace, the main design feature of which is the use of Durapol 9.9 / 11 mm duralumin tubes as frame elements. Due to such a point, but certainly an important change, the model has significantly gained in stiffness and strength, causing the absence of anti-storm delays. The double-layer tent with dimensions of 585 × 220 × 200 is made of polyester 75D / 190T Dry Tech PU, the water resistance of which against the background of most competitors looks very decent (5000 mm water. Art.). The floor, without any claims to innovation, is lined with standard terpauling with a water resistance value of 10,000 mm of water. Art.
Consumers of the Btrace Ruswell 6 highlight the presence of UV protection, as well as a wide windproof vestibule of 215 cm in size. The total weight of the tent is not one of the advantages, but does not go away and the disadvantage: 14 kg for this model looks more than normal. In general, weak spots here are not observed at all: unless the price could be slightly lower than the current one.
Virtues
- an excellent indicator of the water resistance of the floor of reinforced polyethylene (10,000 mm water. Art.);
- high quality duralumin frame Durapol with high resistance to dynamic loads;
- The thought-over design including the platform in the size of 215 cm.
disadvantages
- slightly overpriced.
TREK PLANET Florida Tripl 6
Rating: 4.4
Non-standard camping tent for six people, having an external fiberglass frame and three separate rooms. Its design is sharpened to ensure maximum protection during bad weather, which is expressed in the presence of a canopy, an anti-storm guy cable and an external arrangement of frame arcs. Polyester with a water resistance index of 3000 mm of water was used for facing the tent. Art. The floor, as in many other tents, is lined with reinforced polyethylene, which does not allow moisture penetration in principle (water resistance at 10,000 mm water. Art.).
Let's be honest: the ergonomics of TREK PLANET Florida Tripl 6 leaves much to be desired, both during transportation and during installation. The fact is that the weight of the tent is 18 kilograms, and for walking it will be, to put it mildly, impractical. The dimensions in the folded state in length and width are 70 and 28 cm, respectively. This model is quite expensive, but it guarantees a long service life and a comfortable stay of users in nature.
Virtues
- a large number of protective elements;
- very good indicator of water resistance of the bottom (10,000 mm water. Art.);
- high quality workmanship;
- long service life of the tent with proper care and operation.
disadvantages
- not the best overall indicators for carrying and setting the tent on the spot.
The best extreme tents
Alexika Matrix 3
Rating: 4.9
The main candidate to occupy the leading line of the rating became a real hit of sales in America, after which he did not fail to “look into” the domestic market. Only one, but very important condition distinguishes from the Alexika Matrix 3 tents presented in the category: both the awning and the polyester bottom are treated with a refractory compound.However, for this, manufacturers had to pay with water resistance indicators: while the bottom is able to withstand up to 6,000 mm of water. Art., hemispherical walls are limited to a very modest figure of 3000 mm of water. Art. Ultimately, in a serious downpour, the tent may simply begin to let moisture in.
Possessing dimensions of 210 × 160 × 105 cm, Alexika Matrix 3 quietly accommodates up to three people and ensures their comfortable stay inside. This effect was achieved thanks to the removal of the aluminum frame outside the inner area, thereby (albeit slightly) expanding it. From the standpoint of ease of transportation, this model is the "golden mean." Its total weight is 3.8 kg, but for extreme hikes, and even more so for camping, this is quite an adequate result.
Virtues
- high popularity abroad;
- refractory processing;
- comfortable model for the location of three people;
- thoughtful configuration of the frame, made outside the inside of the tent.
disadvantages
- mediocre indicators of water resistance.
Husky Flame 2
Rating: 4.8
The non-standard extreme tent Husky Flame 2, designed for comfortable accommodation inside two people, was honored to be included in the rating. Aluminum (for the frame), nylon (for the tent) and polyester (for the bottom) were used as industrial materials. Despite such an extensive selection, the overall performance of the tent was lower than that of a competitor in the face of Tramp MOUNTAIN 4 Alu. So, the water resistance of a nylon awning is limited to 6000 mm of water. Art., and the equipment was missing mosquito nets. But there was an internal tent, which compensates for almost all the shortcomings of the kit (performing regulatory and protective functions).
As for ergonomic parameters during transportation, consumers have the least complaints about this component. In packaged form, the dimensions of Husky Flame 2 are only 45 × 15 cm, and the weight does not exceed 2.8 kg. In general, this model is considered one of the exemplary extreme tents available for purchase on the Russian market.
Virtues
- the thought-over dimensions of transportation, small weight;
- use of aluminum as a frame;
- high degree of comfort inside;
- optimal price.
disadvantages
- low water resistance of an awning in comparison with the main competitor.

In particular, users note a high degree of water resistance of the tent and bottom (8000 and 10,000 mm of water. Art. Respectively), the presence of a mosquito net, as well as a wind and snow protection pocket. It didn’t do here without an anti-storm guy: one, but for reliable fixation of the tent this turned out to be enough. Domestic tourists, this model liking, despite the slight increase in prices.
