This success is the result of a new synthetic material with the best features for outdoor dome with aerodynamics and offers less resistance to the wind while its light weight makes it easily transportable. Besides igloo-shaped dome can also tunnel.

There are two kinds of tents commonly called igloo: igloos and igloo 3 season 4 season.

The names of the amount of times a year because they ready the tent, will be more detail ...

Iglo from 3 stations: they are sometimes also called low mountains or trekking and the models developed and designed for during the spring, summer and fall.

Iglo of 4 seasons: they are called high mountain many times and it used to mean. Your material has a high degree of impermeability (with a minimum of 3000 mm water column on its roof), designed for use in high wind conditions, snow and temperatures below freezing. They have less ventilation than model 3 seasons and they stem from duralumin for greater wind resistance. In short they are uncomfortable or inadequate models for recreational camping.
