Ice fishing tent requirements
Often the weather during winter fishing is extreme - low temperatures, constant winds and high humidity. To protect the body from hypothermia, they wear special equipment that restricts movement and affects the process of fishing. An alternative is to buy a protective tent.
Given the specifics of operation, it must meet the following requirements:
- be as light as possible;
- have a reliable attachment to the ice;
- the presence of ventilation holes so that condensation does not form on the material;
- light color for maximum light transmission;
- ease of assembly and disassembly.
An ordinary tent does not meet these qualities, since it is not designed for long standing on the ice. You can adapt it by changing a number of parameters, but in the future, operation in the summer will be difficult. Therefore, the best option is to purchase an inexpensive and reliable tent for winter fishing.
Tent selection options
First of all, pay attention to the cost of the model. But in practice, a low price often turns into a lot of inconvenience. To avoid this, you need to familiarize yourself with the entire range and try to choose the best tent for individual parameters.
When analyzing the parameters of the tent, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics:
- Manufacturing material. It should not let moisture through and be as transparent as possible. These requirements are met by tents made of waterproof polyester with a protective PU ;
- The number of seats can vary from one to five.
- Assembly / disassembly method - automatic or semi-automatic. In the first case, the material is installed on a flexible frame, which, under mechanical action, transforms into a tent. In the second, to increase stability, it is necessary to additionally install a number of fasteners.
- Frame material. To reduce weight, it is recommended to purchase models made of tubular fiberglass.
- The existence of a foundation. If it does not come unfastened, during fishing there is a high probability of freezing to ice. Therefore, you need to choose tents without a bottom or with a removable base.
- fastening mechanisms. Compact gimlets that hold the structure on ice are considered the best. They are easy to install and quickly dismantle if it becomes necessary to move the tent.
Manufacturers offer a lot of options that differ not only in the parameters described above, but also in price. To select the best tent for winter fishing, you need to study the features of the most popular designs.
