N Y LON 6.6 30D 250T RIPSTOP SILICON/PU, 3000 mm H2O (outer tent fabric)
The fabric is made of strong polyamide threads 30 Den thick; density of plaiting is 250x250 T (thread
count) on square inch. In order to make fabric more durable without adding weight it is plaited
with stronger and firmer thread (RIP STOP) every 3 mm in longitudinal and transversal directions.
Outer side of the fabric is treated with thin layer of Silicon that prevents moisture from penetrating
the fabric and also protects the fabric from UV radiation. Inner side of the tent is treated with
polyurethane (PU) that not only makes tent more water-resistant but also enables gluing the seams
which is a must if you’re planning to use a tent in rainy weather. Water-resistance of fabric is 3000
mm of water gauge minimum (the fabric will withhold 3000 mm of water pressure before it begins
soaking wet). Nylon 6.6 is most stiff and elastic fabric on the market in fabric features/weight ratio.
Nylon 6.6 greatly holds wind and UV radiation.
POLYESTER 190T PU, 4000 mm H2O (outer tent fabric)
Fabric made of polyester threads with plaiting density 190x190 T (Thread Count). Fabric is treated
with polyurethane that makes the fabric water-resistant up to 4000 mm H2O (the fabric holds up to
4000 mm of water pressure before it begins soaking). During independent tests the water resistance
of this fabric exceeded 10 000 mm of water gauge. The fabric is vapor-permeable, but outer side of
the fabric has special water repellent treatment for better water resistance.
POLYESTER RIPSTOP LIGHT WR. (inner tent)
The fabric made of strong polyester threads. In order to make fabric more durable without adding
weight it is plaited with stronger and firmer thread (RIP STOP) every 4 mm in longitudinal and
transversal directions. The fabric is vapor-permeable but in order to increase water resistance it has
special water repellent treatment.
POLYESTER 150D OXFORD PU, 6000 mm H2O (floor)
The fabric is made of strong polyester threads 150D thick. Plaiting is performed in Oxford type. The
fabric has a polyurethane (PU) treatment that ensures water resistance up to 6000 mm of water
gauge (the fabric holds up to 6000 mm of water pressure before it soaks). During independent tests
water resistance of this fabric exceeded 10 000 mm. The fabric is stiff and durable.
POLYETHYLENE, 4000 mm H2O (floor)
The fabric is made of polyethylene fiber. The fabric is water resistant 4000 mm H2O (the fabric holds
up to 4000 mm H2O before it soaks). Though it is heavier the fabric is stiff and durable.
NYLON 210T RIPSTOP PU, 250 mm H2O (outer fabric)
The fabric is made of stiff polyamide threads (nylon) with plaiting density of 210x210 T (Thread
Count) on square inch. In order to add stiffness and durability the fabric is strengthened with stronger
thread (RIP STOP) that is plaid into the fabric every 2 mm in longitudinal and transversal directions.
The fabric has thin polyurethane (PU) treatment that makes fabric water resistant and wind
impermeable. Water resistance of fabric is 250 mm of water gauge (the fabric holds up to 250 mm of
water pressure before soaking). All these qualities are used in Protective Shell technology to create
an insulation space.
NYLON 210T RIPSTOP (outer fabric)
The fabric is made of stiff polyamide threads (nylon) with plaiting density of 210x210 T (Thread
Count) on square inch. In order to add stiffness and durability the fabric is strengthened with stronger
thread (RIP STOP) that is plaid into the fabric every 2 mm in longitudinal and transversal directions.
The fabric is vapor-permeable and breathable. In Protective Shell system it ensures insulation and
evaporation of excessive moisture.
POLYESTER 190T DIAMOND RIPSTOP PU 250 mm H2O (outer fabric)
The fabric is made of stiff polyester threads with plaiting density of 190x190 T (Thread count) on
square inch. In order to increase durability and resistance to abrasion without adding unnecessary
weight the fabric is plaited with extra strong thread (RIP STOP) every 2 mm in longitudinal and
transversal directions. Diamond type plaiting is used for this fabric. The fabric is treated with a thin
layer of polyurethane (PU) that makes fabric impermeable to wind and moisture. Water resistance
of the fabric is 250 mm of water gauge (the fabric holds water pressure of 250 mm before it begins
soaking). All these features are used in Protective Shell technology for creating insulation space.
POLYESTER 190T (outer fabric)
The fabric is made of stiff polyester threads with plaiting density 190x190 T (Thread Count) on
square inch. The fabric is vapor-permeable and ‘breatheable’. In Protective Shell system it provides
thermoregulation and evaporation of excessive moisture.
VS NYLON RIPSTOP LIGHT SILICON W/R 32 g/m 2 (outer fabric)
The fabric is very stiff and lightweight, it weighs only 32 g/m 2 and is made of nylon threads. In order
to add stiffness and durability the fabric is strengthened with stronger thread (RIP STOP) that is plaid
into the fabric every 2 mm in longitudinal and transversal directions. The fabric is treated with a thin
layer of Silicon for better wind and water resistance qualities.
