The tents are divided into four main type:

Summer
Three-season

Mountain or winter

Summer tents
These tents are designed to provide maximum ventilation and protection from insects during the hot summer months. They have a strong construction and can withstand different weather conditions - light breeze to thunderstorms. Summer tents are not suitable for camping in the mountains.

Three-season tents
The main purpose of three-season tents is to provide comfort to the occupants from spring to autumn. Walls are made of a material that provides both ventilation and protection from adverse weather conditions such as wind and rain.
Three-season tents are the most practical and recommended for conditions in the Bulgarian mountains.

Universal tents
The hybrid design of these tents allows you to transform them both: in summertime - providing good ventilation and during the winter -having any protection against bad weather. The only drawback of these tents is their weight - they are usually much heavier than other types.

Winter mountain tents
These tents are designed to withstand the most severe weather conditions. They have extremely robust structure; outer surface is made of durable fabric; they have a reliable system to strengthen. Usually they are relatively low to withstand strong winds and have a big enough hall to store backpacks and other accessories. They also have Snow collars, which prevent the entry of snow between the two layers of the tent.
