As a nature traveler, you have surely heard titles such as climbing tent, cow head tent, travel tent, automatic tent, camping tent, cane tent, clip-on tent, tunnel tent, etc. But what is the difference between these models? Which one is suitable for your intended use? And what criteria should you have when buying?
Climbing tent
If you are interested in mountaineering, camping and nature tourism, you probably know that these three terms are always used interchangeably. But the tools they need are so different?
Features of the climbing tent
Camping tents should be lightweight and pack compactly to be easily carried by backpackers. At the same time, you must check all the following items:
- Current structures (such as being double-faced)
- Resistance to water and moisture penetration
- Wind and storm resistance
- Resistance to wear and tear
- Availability of all necessary accessories in the tent package
Price and purchase of all these models: climbing tent
Types of climbing tents
Climbing tents are usually divided into two categories: stick and clip. In stick models, the tent poles are inserted directly into the tent fabric and provide more resistance to the wind. In clip-on models, the tent fabric is connected to the poles by a series of clips and has less resistance to strong winds.
But instead, a certain distance is always maintained between the bars and the fabric, which prevents the absorption of moisture. This model can also be used as a canopy.
The best climbing tent
The best model among all the brands in the market, in our opinion, is the Pekinio brand tent, which is known as the cow head tent in the market because of the shape of its logo. The cow head tent is in the category of cane tents. It ticks all the features of being double-layered, waterproof, resistant to storms, easy to transport, quick to set up, etc.
Also, due to the suitable quality of various cow head models, this series has undoubtedly won the best-selling and most popular titles.

Travel tent
Travel tents usually have simpler designs and less precision is used in their framing. The reason for this is that there is no need for high wind resistance or easy transport in a travel tent.
As a result, if you want to use it only for traveling, it is better not to overspend and just choose an original travel tent.

Automatic travel tent
Automatic tents are also considered as one of the branches of travel tents, which are called automatic or easy to open due to their special design. This model can be opened and closed in less than 30 seconds.
Some automatic models can be used for camping in nature with the use of reinforced fiberglass bases, along with the double-layer design.
Camping and hiking tent
Is camping and hiking different from climbing? Basically, you can say “yes”! These titles are not the same categories, although they are very related to each other. It can be said that mountaineering actually includes camping and nature tourism, but campers and nature walkers are not necessarily climbers!
If you don't dream of conquering any peak and you go for a walk in the middle of nature on low slope paths, you are hiking. If you spend the night in the mountains and in nature and wake up in the morning in a tent and sleeping bag, then you are participating in camping activities.
Where can I get it?
A few stores in Iran have representatives of Pikinio, or cow's head. But only one of these stores offers all cowhide tents with a written guarantee of authenticity. Also, in addition to the cow head series models, there are other types of clip-on and cane tents, such as Snowhawk tents, Jangi King tents, Hillman tents, and automatic travel tents.
