There
are many different tents suited to many different
purposes so when choosing a tent you need to consider what sort of
camping you
will be mainly doing. Will it be a summer family trip to the
Coromandel, a
tough tramp through the Ruahines, or New Years at the beach with your
mates?
Whatever
you are planning you need to ensure the tent you
choose has the right features for your chosen pursuit: design,
ventilation,
size, weight and materials used in construction are all important
factors, whether
you are doing the hard yards or just relaxing in the sun.
New
Zealand conditions dictate that your tent is 100%
weather proof, there are a lot of tents available on the market today
but not
all of them are suitable to our unique conditions, though you can rest
assured
if it does work here then it will work anywhere.
For
your tramping trip a tent like the popular Freedom
‘Micro’ is
ideal. The 'Micro' is a two person tent with durable guy ropes for
additional stability in
windy conditions and airflow vents that allow cool air to flow
throughout the
tent on those muggy summer nights.
If
you need a little more space there is the two to four person Freedom
‘Hubble’, or
if you are taking a lot of gear or perhaps your prized mountain
bike then you would possibly want to look at the ‘Jetstream’
with it's modular interior pod system. If you want to go
extremely lightweight then perhaps the ‘Mono’
is for you, it has enough space to sit up
comfortably but is only marginally heavier than a bivy bag.
If
you are thinking of a family camping trip then the Oz
Trail range we stock is the
ideal choice, with everything from a low
cost Oz-Trail
‘Classic 3V’,
an entry level three man dome tent to the luxurious
three room Sportiva
‘Voyager’ or
Freedom
‘Grand’ we
are sure you will find your
desired shelter.
There
really are many options available so please drop by
the store, give us a call or send us an e-mail and our expert team will
be
happy to help you work out exactly which tent is suited to your
specific
requirements.
