A wide range of tents for bivouac

Mule is expanding its range, more models are coming very soon! If you are a seasoned trekker or a bivouac specialist, you probably know the importance of choosing the right tent. A hiking tent is not chosen as a camping tent: assess your needs and expectations before buying a tent for your outings. Here are some criteria to take into account:

• Weight and size: 

If you plan to go hiking or intensive trekking, favor a light and compact tent that will not increase you too much. Check the weight and dimensions of the folded tent to make sure it will suit your backpack. An overly heavy or bulky tent can make your trips difficult and exhausting. Light tents in high -tech materials, such as those offered by our partner brands, guarantee easy transport without compromising robustness or comfort. Choosing a tent adapted to your specific needs will allow you to fully enjoy your outdoor adventures without sacrificing your comfort or your safety.

• Ability : 

Determine the number of people who use the tent. Bivouac tents are generally designed for one or two people, but you can find more spacious models if necessary. For solo adventures, an ultralight single -seater tent may be enough, while for two outings, a two -seater tent offering a little more space will be ideal for guaranteeing comfortable rest. If you go in a group or with a family, consider larger models that offer enough space to sleep and store your things. Also be sure to consider the interior storage space for equipment to ensure optimal organization during your stay in the great outdoors.

• Seasonality: 

Bivouac tents are classified according to their ability to resist different weather conditions. The three -seasons tents are suitable for spring, summer and fall, while four -season tents can withstand rigorous winter conditions.

Window and wind resistance: Make sure the tent offers adequate protection against rain and wind. Check the water column (measurement of waterproofing) of the soil and double-Tit, as well as the resistance of the arches and sardines.

• Ventilation and breathability: 

Good ventilation is essential to avoid condensation inside the tent. Look for tents with mesh vents or panels for optimal air circulation.

• Ease of assembly: 

If you are a beginner or if you prefer to quickly set up your camp, opt for a tent with a simple and intuitive mounting system.

• Sustainability : 

The quality of the materials and the robustness of the construction influence the lifespan of your tent. Check the materials used (canvas, soil, arches) and reinforced seams to make sure that the tent will resist wear.

By taking these criteria into account, you will be able to choose the bivouac tent best suited to your needs. Mule chooses brands involved in a responsible, sustainable, ecological and/or social approach. Choose Outdoor sports equipment in line with your values ​​and convictions thanks to our shop!
