Thermal insulation
The core purpose of putting "insulation" in the first article is to tell you: Don't tangle with three season tents, four seasons tents, these two statements are many years ago, 2023 really don't tangle with this statement, to say that the four seasons account is able to adapt to the winter blizzard and other weather, more poles, thick, tent cloth is more strong, and now the general tent plus sleeping bag can be perfect at about 0 degrees. In particular, this does not constitute absolute advice, because everyone has different sensitivity to "temperature". If you've been camping in sub-zero temperatures, I'm sure you're too old a driver to even be interested in reading my article.
Heat insulation needs special explanation, if the maximum temperature of the camping destination is above 30 ° C or the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong, I strongly recommend that the tent should have a sunscreen coating, about the coating/heat protection, heat protection is related to the material and coating, cost-effective silver glue (silver coating) than vinyl, sunscreen index is better than vinyl, but after all, few people are willing to camp in the hot sun above 35 degrees. So it is recommended to paint silver.
My own real experience, in June, the outdoor maximum temperature of 30℃, my tent is coated with silver, my friend's tent has no sunscreen coating, the structure is similar, under the same environment, the internal temperature of the silver-coated tent is at least 5 degrees lower.
