Tents "Lotus" for winter fishing: characteristics, reviews

Advantages of tents

Products are sold in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. The company has its own personal developments and designs, which are protected by a patent:

To make the awning, only high-tech fabrics with a coating that protects from bad weather are used.
The frame racks are constructed from aluminum alloy pipes. Durable and flexible, retain their properties at extremely low temperatures, in the range of minus 200 degrees.
The rack connections are made of steel with anti-corrosion treatment.
The umbrella-type tent design, patented by Lotus, makes it possible to quickly open the tent by just pulling the loop until it clicks. All that remains is to fix the guy wires for stability on the surface.
Single-layer fabric of bright light green or bright orange color allows light to pass through on a gloomy day. For safe night fishing, external elements are designed to reflect light.
They produce one, two, three, four - local models.
They assemble quickly in a few seconds. A large standard bag and cover will allow you to pack your tent without any problems.
High quality. Wide selection of models at an affordable price.

When installing in calm conditions, it is recommended to first secure one corner with a screw; the inlet and ventilation valves, when open, should be on the side opposite from the wind. Let's take a closer look at some models.

Nine reinforced fastenings for guy lines: 5 fastenings on the poles and 4 on the walls of the tent;

Customer Reviews

I like Lotus tents because they have a modular principle. There were no problems disassembling and reassembling. Grade:

(Arseny)

(Lenya)

I have been using excellent tents from Lotus for a long time and recommend them to my friends. Grade:

(Dimon)

I have had Lotus for a long time and am very pleased! In terms of price-quality ratio - speed of opening the tent, there are simply no analogues on the Russian market! Grade:

(Egor)

I am a user of Lotus tents, both winter and summer. Satisfied, the quality is excellent. Grade:

(Novel)

The tent has been in use for 4 years. Doesn't let you down! The skirt is useful not only from wind and snow, but also serves as a canopy for small things. Grade:

(Olga)

I purchased Lotus-3 in 2013. Great thing! Convenient, practical, reliable - tested by Baikal, with its vagaries of weather! Grade:

(Vladimir)

Hello! I purchased Lotos 4 two years ago and am very pleased with this purchase. I often use it during winter fishing; it installs and disassembles quickly, which is very important in the cold. Grade:

(Igor)

We tested the Lotus 5 Universal Bath on Lake Baikal in harsh conditions. Wind resistance is high. She easily coped with strong gusts of wind, which are always present on Lake Baikal. It is comfortable to fish with four people, because... The sizes are very voluminous. Having installed the sauna canopy, we set up a luxurious sauna right on the ice. Insulated floors allow you not to feel the cold from below, and the walls of the tent canopy, which retain heat and steam, allow you to “turn up the heat” and enjoy a real gourmet Russian bathhouse. Grade:

(Yuri)

I went fishing with my family. Lotus 3 did not disappoint. Thank you, manufacturers! Grade:

(Michael)

I have been fishing with the Lotus tent for two years. Convenience, high quality. The only drawback is that the screws are not included. I had to buy it myself. Grade:

(Ilya)

Accessories are presented on the websites for each model: additional awnings, floors, covers, screws and covers for them, etc. Buyers appreciate the affordable price and high technology. Carefully choose, all parts must work properly, because they will have to serve for a long time and in extreme conditions. With the right choice, your favorite pastime will be great.
