Release stress naturally; or enjoy family time with your children, experience the joy of outdoor life, and make the hot summer the most beautiful memory.
When it comes to camping, we must talk about tents. A tent that is waterproof, moisture-proof and breathable is undoubtedly the best choice for summer camping. best choice. Tent advertisements and manuals usually indicate the materials of the outer tent, tent bottom and inner tent. Do you know what materials 190T, 210D Oxford cloth, PE bottom, waterproof PU, etc. represent? A few decades ago, almost all tent materials were waterproof-treated canvas or rubber tarps. Although they could meet the requirements of weatherproofing, they were also very heavy! So today, when light and strong materials are widely used, let’s take a look at what kind of material is most suitable for your tent.
1. Fabric:
1. Generally speaking, polyester is thin and light, has high strength, good elasticity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for mountaineering and hiking campers. Oxford cloth is thick but heavy, suitable for making large tents for driving camping or small groups.
2. From the perspective of waterproof coating, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is good at waterproofing, but it will become hard and brittle in winter. , prone to creases or breaks; PU (polyurethane) coating can not only overcome the defects of PVC, but also has a very good waterproof effect.
3. Silver-coated material, anti-ultraviolet, mainly used for leisure beach tents, sunshade tents, advertising tents, etc.
4. Some ultra-light tents are more popular now. Different from the previous principle of coating PU layer on nylon and polyester fabrics to make them waterproof, it uses silicone (silicon resin) coating technology, which is much lighter in weight, but also much more expensive.
2. Lining:
As for the inner tent, it usually has two functions, thermal insulation, moisture permeability and mosquito protection. For the previous considerations, it usually also uses polyester taffeta, which has good It has excellent breathability and a certain thermal insulation ability. If you only need to prevent mosquitoes, then gauze is enough to deal with it, and high-density mesh is better. If it is a four-season tent or a mountain tent, then there is no doubt that all the inner tents are made of polyester taffeta to keep warm. If it is a summer tent or a single tent, almost all the inner tents are made of gauze for the purpose of heat dissipation and ventilation. For ordinary tents, For a three-quarter account, it is a compromise and pragmatic choice to have a portion of gauze and polyester taffeta.
3. Base material:
The main function of the tent bottom is waterproof, moisture-proof and dust-proof. The choice of bottom material also determines the grade of the tent.
1. PE coated base material is cheap and is a commonly used base material for low-end tents, but it is easy to break after being folded multiple times. .
2. PU coated base material, both in wear resistance and waterproofness, greatly exceeds PE base material, and has high cost performance.
4. Fabric specifications
D: called the Daniel value, Denier = g/L*9000, where g is the weight of the silk thread (grams), L is the length of the silk thread (meters), which is used to indicate the weight of the yarn woven into this fabric. The weight of a single yarn per 9,000 meters is the D number of the fabric. The larger the number before D, the thicker and heavier the fabric fiber is for the same area. Usually tents use 210D or 600D Oxford cloth, taking into account cost/weight/wear resistance.
T: Called polyester taffeta, it is a silk-like fabric used to make the outer tent and inner tent. Tent, light and strong, such as 190T, the number in front of it represents the sum of the number (density) of warp and weft yarns in 1 inch (2.545CM), which is actually a unit of density. The larger the number before T, the greater the fabric fiber of the same area. The denser it is, the heavier it becomes.
