What a triple layer tent is

A triple-layer tent adds a padded or insulating layer to the usual tent fabric, to hold in warmth on the coldest days and nights. Every tent in this range is a thickened or padded cotton winter tent, built for ice fishing and cold-weather camping, where you sit or sleep for hours in one place. One goes further: the quick-open ice fishing tent here describes a five-layer construction of cotton and 210D oxford cloth. A tent is filed here when its description says its walls are triple, three or 3 layer, or thickened cotton.

The kinds in this range

  • Thickened cotton ice fishing tents that open quickly on ice or frozen ground. The quick-open one is 220 by 220cm and 165cm high. See ice fishing tents.
  • A chimney tent in thickened cotton and flame retardant oxford fabric for 3 to 4 people, with an opening for a stove's flue. See hot tents with a stove jack.
  • A single-person cotton fishing tent in sizes from 1.8m square and 1.5m high to 2.4m square and 1.8m high. See fishing tents.
  • A large hexagonal tent with cotton-padded walls, roomy enough for more than one person and their gear. See winter and snow tents.

Warmth against weight

Padding is heavy and bulky. The quick-open ice fishing tent weighs about 13kg, far more than a backpacking tent, so these are made to go in the car and be carried a short way to the water. Thickened cotton also takes a long time to dry, so dry the tent fully at home before you store it, or it can go mouldy. For a winter tent you carry on your back, look at the 4-season tents instead.

Rain, snow and the rating

Padding keeps the warmth in; it does not make a tent more waterproof. The chimney tent here is rated 1,000 to 1,500mm, which is at the low end: fine in dry, cold weather, less so in a long wet spell. Check each product's own figures, and see tents by waterproof rating.

Questions people ask about triple layer tents

Can I use a stove in a triple layer tent?

Only in one made for it, such as the chimney tent here, with its own kind of stove and a carbon monoxide alarm. Never take a barbecue or a stove without a flue into any tent: carbon monoxide kills.

Is a triple layer tent any good in summer?

No. It is built to hold heat in, so in warm weather it gets hot and stuffy. For summer, see summer tents.
