Introduction to the selection of bicycle camping equipment

Like all outdoor sports, the size and weight of outdoor equipment are always haggle over every ounce. Riding also needs to carry light equipment! Lightweight equipment makes outdoor riding enjoyable. Light bicycles can also play a cross-country role on forest roads. In addition, some sections need a little riding. At this time, you will want to relax! Bian Xiao sorted out some experience of using the test, including sharing it with riders, hoping to bring some help and purchase guidance to novice riders who just stepped in.

Before buying an outdoor tent, you should look at the destination and confirm the local weather and temperature, which can be said to be an important basis for buying a tent. In addition to the local weather factors, weight and size are also important points to pay attention to:

Weight: Generally speaking, a single account under one kilogram and a double account under two kilograms are ideal choices. Unlike self-driving camping, riding a camping tent requires a lot of care, especially after carrying luggage. It is quite difficult to climb the mountain by bike. It is much easier to choose lightweight outdoor equipment.

Size: In addition to weight, packaging skills are also important, because the packaging space for cycling camping is limited. Take the tent as an example. You don't have to put the whole tent in one bag, you can put it in different parts of a bicycle camping bag according to the characteristics of each part of the tent. This not only effectively uses the space, but also distributes the weight evenly on the car.

Tents are like shelters in the wild. Although the price is inversely proportional to the volume and weight, you won't know how good it is until you use it. You can also borrow it from your friends. Just try it.

The difference between internal and external accounts: the main function of internal accounts is to prevent mosquito infestation. Some outdoor brands will have storage bags in their internal accounts, which is convenient for users to put their personal belongings. If you go to a dry place, it is no problem to be moistureproof at night. Just take the tent inside and you can camp, thus reducing the weight of luggage and saving space. The main task of the account is to prevent rain from invading and provide space for personal privacy.

Self-supporting account and non-self-supporting account: tent construction mainly depends on poles and camp nails to shape and support the tent. A self-supporting tent refers to a tent that can be shaped without camp nails and only needs camp posts. But the tent outside may look a little soft because there are no camp nails, and it will not look as good as the shape in the picture (it is recommended to use camp nails in bad weather). Non-self-supporting accounts, whether posts or nails, are indispensable. The advantage is that most non-self-supporting accounts will be lighter than self-supporting accounts, so each has its own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose according to your personal preference and building ability.

The following tent styles are recommended, and the user's feedback on size and weight is good.

Big agnes's fly creek ul2 double account (self-operated account)

This may be a well-known thing, but I will mention it here. If you plan to sleep alone in the tent, but want to leave some personal space in the tent, then we suggest you buy a double account for single use, because the space of a single account is really for one person. If you have personal belongings, it will appear crowded and the visual sense will be narrow. The American agnes Fly creek ul2 is a well-known style at home and abroad. After storage, the package size is 10 x 48 cm, which can be easily put into the bag for bicycle camping. It can be said that the weight of 1. 1kg brings more internal space, and the cost performance is quite high. The construction method is also quite simple and fast, and it can be completed in less than five minutes if you get started.

It weighs just over 2800 grams, but if two people use it together, the tent can be divided into two parts and two cars. It doesn't seem that heavy. The upper size is 53 17 cm long, so you need to pay attention to yours.
