All About Trek Tents

Jan. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- Our perspective on the history of Trek tents. Mr. Smith has 40 years experience in the tent industry. as an executive vice president and co owner of Camel Manufacturing and owner of Leisure Life (USA) Inc. Much of Mr. Smith's life has been devoted to the design and manufacturing of camping tents. The Trek line, from Leisure Life, include canvas and synthetic fabric tents and range in cost from low to medium-high price points. Mainly targeted toward affordable large family camping tents, Trek has also focused on smaller tents used for backpacking and four season expedition quality dome tents. Even though the competition is strong, Trek continues to provide high quality tents at very competitive price points. Mr. Smith has found a niche calling in manufacturing tents for the U.S. Military. Strong success has come with a patented tent used by the Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan. No larger than your frying pan when collapsed, this tent replaces a traditional one person tent. The requirement that military tents be made in the USA, have provided Leisure Life another opportunity to succeed in the camping tent arena. Mr. Smith also holds a patent for a 3 room tent with gazebo. Trek holds a decisive edge for people wanting a tent in the $150.00 - $450.00 range. Many of their tents feature insulating flies, a vestibule to store gear or high tech frames and shapes. Easy assembly and take down are priorities for Trek, a camper does not want to waste their vacation time with hard to assemble products. Most Trek tents are targeted toward the middle class with a wide range of polyester / nylon and canvas tents. Their are a lot of people that still love canvas tents, which are very durable and can last many many years. Trek also offers two screen tents, one made from canvas that has an option of solid walls that can be used as awnings and another with completely self contained frame system so you'll never lose any pieces. Canopies are available with detachable walls, these include screened and solid walls with windows.
