Polycotton care
As part of the tent is cotton, the fabric must be absolutely dry before storing to avoid mildew. It is also important to keep the fabric clean and to deal with stains as quickly as possible. It is advised to wipe away dust with a soft brush.
DO NOT KEEP IN A DAMP LOCATION.
To protect your "Skyview" window, remember to close your curtain when you don't want to stargaze
Benefits of Polycotton or Technical Cotton
The Polycotton, also known as Technical Cotton, has the following benefits:
- better resistance to UV
light - better breathability than a traditional polyester tent
- a longer lifespan
- a more lightweight tent than a 100%-cotton tent
- A more pleasant living environment, in terms of sound reduction, for instance
Still, remain vigilent because Polycotton is a fabric that requires special attention when drying and when cleaning off stains.

Wind
We test all our tents in a wind tunnel on a turntable. The aim is to expose each side of our tent to the same wind intensity.
Properly pitched, with the guy ropes deployed, this tent remains habitable in wind speed 5, measured at 30 km/h.
Waterproof and taped seams
We test our tents to validate their waterproofing. The first test is done in the laboratory, 3 hours under 200 litres of water per hour per sqm, equivalent to 200 mm tropical rain per hour. The second test is done in the field under real-life conditions by our teams. This tent is fitted with a Polycotton flysheet. It has a 400 g/sqm waterproof groundsheet. (groundsheet: >5000 schmerbers).
