The channel structure tent is wind resistant in the length direction and is the best of all structures. Laterally slightly worse. But because the overall weight is light, the struts can be made robust. Judging from the actual commentary, there is no particular response to the problem of lateral resistance to wind.
The disadvantage of "geodesic dome" like the VE25 is that it is too heavy. Pulling down other performances. The TNF regeneration product "Northwind" is a modern version of the original "Westwind". Westwind is a channel structure. But later it was probably because the way to give the geodesic dome was not made. Northwind, which began relaunching the channel structure last year, is an affirmation of this design. TNF In 1999, there were several pictures of CATALOG on the side of a propeller side of a C-130 Hercules transport plane. They were a Mountain, a Sierra Designs, a Mountain Hardwear, and a Northwind photograph. The other tents fell under 140km/s wind speed, and only Northwind stood still. Of course, there is an element of publicity here, but if Northwind does not highlight TNF in the wind, it will not be so effortless. Compared to the same volume of Mountain, Northwind is lighter than 1.4 kilograms. Of course, as mentioned in the past, the wind resistance of the tent is directly related to the quality of the fixed ropes.
One disadvantage of the channel structure is that it does not stand up. But this is not a problem on the mountain, because the ground nails and the fixing ropes are always there. However, in a calm environment that crosses wild camps, people who like to move their tents and remove them can feel inconvenient.
