How to choose the tent fabric
2022-11-25
"There are so many tent fabrics ...... what is the difference, which one is the best and why?" These are the questions we are often asked.
1.Silicon coated nylon
Nylon: the scientific name is called polyamide fiber, nylon is strong tension, bright and smooth color, not easy to fade, and soft texture, but also has good strength, not easy to mold, but also will not be insects.
It is small moisture absorption, freezing does not harden, is currently the most widely used material. The outer tent is made of waterproof nylon fabric to resist the infiltration of rain, and the waterproof tent will be attached with waterproof glue in the stitching part to increase the waterproofness.
Silicon coated nylon is generally used in high-end tents, it has stronger water repellency, elasticity, UV resistance, and this material is also lighter, because the material is good, so the price is relatively high.
Silicon coated nylon tent process is generally very complex, it takes longer to silicon coating bonded to the top of the nylon, and it is difficult to stick something on the silicon coated nylon, that is, the seams of the silicon coated nylon can not be taped, you must use a special sealant, therefore, most of the high-end tents on the market are using a single-sided silicon coated nylon, which is generally pu coating.
2. Polyester fiber
Common tents are polyester, travel is very pro-price, look very good, because the breathability is relatively poor nylon, if you choose a polyester tent, consider double tent.
The main tent or inner tent fabric is not as waterproof as the outer tent, but will have good breathability.
3. Canvas (Oxford cloth)
Waterproof, insulation effect is good, the sun is not hot, but the texture is hard and bulky, easy to mold and fade, the economic benefits have been less than nylon, has been gradually eliminated.
4. Vinyl
Vinyl tent, in addition to good sun protection, other general performance. Less on the market, almost all out.

From the point of view of use, nylon silk performance is better than cotton. Camping in the wild, the tent is easy to absorb moisture, cotton drying badly prone to mildew, nylon silk is easy to dry not easy to mold.
