Green Glade Vero 3

The Green Glade Vero 3 is designed for short outings and outdoor use. Of the obvious advantages — affordable price (two times less than analogues) and very low weight (2.6 kg). In addition, it has compact dimensions in a case (54x13x13 cm). The tent will be a good option for economical lovers of outdoor recreation who are not seriously interested in tourism.

However, the Green Glade Vero 3 model has several disadvantages. The main feature of this tent is the lack of separation into the outer (awning) and the inner part. In fact, the roof of the residential module acts as an awning. This design feature makes the tent more vulnerable to precipitation. In addition, there is no peculiar air cushion, which is usually formed between the awning and the interior and partly helps to maintain the temperature inside. At low temperatures, the inhabitants of the tent are at risk of freezing without warm clothes or sleeping bags. Therefore, Glade Vero 3 is best used in warm weather, when precipitation is not expected. If the forecast turns out to be wrong, there is a risk of getting wet, since the water resistance of the roof is quite low (1000 mm of water column) and may not withstand even average rain.

The dimensions of the living part are 200x180x120 cm — this is enough for three people to rest people. The design of the model is a hemisphere familiar to most tourists, the basis of which are two fibreglass arcs. There are no vestibules near the tent, but there is a small folding visor above the entrance. The Green Glade Vero 3 has an external frame — this type is usually considered better than the external one for a number of reasons. However, in this case, this cannot be called an obvious advantage, since the tent is single-layer and does not have a separate awning.

The Glade Vero 3's low-cost also manifests itself in the fact that it is equipped with one exit, which is not convenient for a three-person tent. At the same time, the mosquito net covers only the upper half of the door, the rest is a solid fabric. Taking into account the fact that the model has only one ventilation window under the dome of the tent, there is no need to talk about effective ventilation, and in hot weather it will be stuffy inside. However, the manufacturer has not completely forgotten about comfort. So, inside there are three pockets on the walls — two on one side and one on the other.

The High Peak Kira 3 is a fairly spacious 3-person tent that is equally well suited for camping and light hiking those tourists who love comfort.

The inner compartment of the tent is a square with a side of 210 cm — this gives enough free space both in length and in width. It is worth noting that the height of the model is 130 cm — this is more than the standard height of tents of this class (115-120 cm), and provides additional comfort during evening gatherings. In addition, inside there are pockets for things and a loop for a lantern.

A distinctive feature of High Peak Kira 3 is the presence, in addition to two main fibreglass arches, the third, which makes it possible to organize a spacious vestibule 120 cm long and almost “ in full growth" of the entire tent. It can not only accommodate all backpacks and equipment for unloading living quarters, but also cook lunch or dinner in inclement weather.

The model has two exit protected by a mosquito net. Together with two additional windows, they are able to provide effective ventilation of the tent. The ventilation windows are equipped with a wind valve that prevents rain or snow from getting inside.

Experienced hikers who prefer long active hikes will not be too pleased with the water resistance characteristics of the High Peak Kira 3. Both the awning and the bottom of the tent, which have an indicator of 2000 mm of water column, of course, will be able to hold back moderate rain, but a heavy downpour can cause problems for travelers inside. The weight of the model is 4.49 kg, the dimensions in the case are 58x15x15 cm. Taking into account the general convenience of the model and a fairly affordable price, High Peak Kira 3 will suit most beginner hikers, as well as lovers of camping sites.

NOVA TOUR Beetle 3

This model is a good choice for both beginners and experienced hikers. With it, you won’t get lost even in a difficult long hike, and it’s very comfortable in the parking lot in the camp. Good water resistance (4000 mm of water at the tent and 5000 at the bottom) allow you to safely endure bad weather.

An interesting feature of NOVA TOUR Beetle 3 is the original frame design. The radial articulation of the arches maximizes the internal volume, making the side walls almost vertical. The frame itself actually makes up a single structure that is assembled semi-automatically — assembly from one end leads to the fact that the arcs themselves "become" into the desired grooves. This greatly facilitates the installation of a tent alone. However tourists who are accustomed to standard arches may experience some inconvenience at first, but a couple of assemblies should correct the situation. It is also worth noting that the frame of the tent is aluminium. Such arches are more rigid than their fibreglass counterparts, so they stretch the tent material better and respond to external influences. And in the event of a breakdown, they are much easier to repair in field conditions.

The weight of the tent is relatively small, as for a three-seater model — 3.7 kg. And the dimensions of the model folded into the cover are 52x16x16 cm. The internal dimensions of the tent are 160x210x120 cm. An interesting feature is the horizontal arrangement of the beds relative to the two entrances. Thus, tourists lying on the edges will not disturb the rest when leaving. The model is also equipped with two vestibules 90 cm long, in which backpacks and other things can be placed.

Another feature of NOVA TOUR Beetle 3 is exits they are closed exclusively with a mosquito net without additional fabric, as is done in most tents. Whether this is an advantage or, conversely, a disadvantage, everyone will determine for himself. On the one hand, together with two windows with a wind flap, this provides good ventilation. On the other hand, tourists can get chilly in low temperatures.

Greenell Ardee 3

This spacious tent is a godsend for camping and extended family or group camping trips. After all, it provides a lot of free space and maximum comfort for a long stay in nature.

The dimensions of the inner tent are 230x220x120 cm. This will not only allow three tourists to freely accommodate, but also arrange evening gatherings for five or six people. The tent has three entrances protected by a mosquito net and two windows. In addition, there are three additional windows for ventilation and several internal pockets on the walls.

One of the highlights of Greenell Ardee 3 is a huge vestibule, which is the same size as the living part of the tent. In it, you can not only lay out all things, but also cook food in cases where it is not possible to make a fire — for example, during bad weather.

Another important feature of the model is the construction that involves the use outer rather than inner arcs, which provides several advantages. So, it simplifies the installation of a tent during the rain, because first you can install an awning, and only then, under its cover, fasten the inside without wetting it. And besides, if the downpour caught on the road, you can simply install the awning separately. The outer frame provides both a stronger tension of the awning and a rigid fixation of the arches. Thanks to this, the tent becomes more wind resistant than models with arches inside. It also ensures that water runs off the walls more quickly, making the inner compartment less sticky to the outer tent when it rains, which improves ventilation and reduces condensation inside.

The Greenell Ardee 3 has an average water resistance rating of 3000mm water column. This indicator is enough for trips to most regions of the country and neighboring countries. However, the rather large weight of the tent (5.3 kg) makes it not the best option for hiking. And the dimensions in the case, in comparison with other review models, are very significant — 64x22x22 cm. That is why camping is the best use of the model.

Canadian Camper Rino 3

The name Canadian Camper Rino 3 itself suggests that the main purpose of this tent is long-term camping. This is confirmed by the spacious living area, and the considerable weight of the model (4.9 kg). However, if you are ready to carry a couple of extra kilograms on yourself, then this tent will not become a burden even on a hike, “paying back” with comfort in the parking lots between the transitions.

The frame of the Canadian Camper Rino 3 includes three arcs , two of which are main ones, and one forms a capacious vestibule 110 cm long. The height of the vestibule is 135 centimeters, which allows you not only to store backpacks and other equipment in it, but also to cook food or tea using a burner. It is also worth noting that the tent has four entrances, three of which are on the vestibule and one on the “back” side.

The spacious interior (205x200x130 cm) will ensure a comfortable stay for travelers. The residential module is equipped with internal pockets (on the walls), as well as a loop for a lantern, thanks to which you can organize the lighting of the tent in the dark. For additional ventilation, two windows with a wind valve are provided.

It is worth noting that the Canadian Camper Rino 3 has the best water resistance in the review. 4000 mm of water column for the awning and 6000 mm for the bottom of the tent — with such characteristics, vacationers are not afraid of a downpour. Therefore, the model can also be used in a serious hike in areas with high rainfall. There is also a special canopy attached from below along the perimeter of the tent. It covers the openings between the bottom and the ground on uneven surfaces, protecting them from water or snow. This will be very useful when parking on uneven terrain, in particular in the mountains.
