The best automatic tents in 2022

Sometimes you get so tired of the bustle of the city that you want to go to the forest and live there for a while. But here you only have to sleep in a tent. Some of them are uncomfortable, get wet in the rain, and generally take a lot of time to install. After a walk, for example, in the mountains, you don’t want to spend an extra 15-20 minutes on assembling a tent. For the convenience of tourists, automatic tents were invented, or, as they call them, “automatic machines”, which literally assemble themselves. It is very comfortable!

How is it different from a classic tent?

The most important difference from the usual tent with huge arcs is that for the "automatic" it is not necessary to thread the arcs through a special compartment in order for the tent to stand. Here it is enough just to pull the loop at the top, and the awning will open on its own.

What to look for when choosing?

1. capacity - how many people can fit inside;
2. what time of the year you need a tent: different materials, functions and characteristics are provided for summer and winter;
3. protection from sunlight and the penetration of sunlight into the tent: if in summer it is recommended to choose a model that will protect from heat, then in winter, on the contrary, you need to choose a tent with good light transmission;
4. the presence of a ventilation valve;
5. the cloth;
6. high-quality mechanism: with frequent unfolding of the “machine”, jamming or breakdown may occur, respectively, it will no longer be possible to put up a tent.

So, let's start reviewing the rating of automatic tents.
