Siltarp 3 Shelter

Siliconized Cordura Nylon is a durable fabric treated with silicone to enhance its water resistance and overall strength. This material is ideal for outdoor gear because it resists abrasions and keeps your equipment dry in wet conditions, ensuring longevity and reliability during your adventures.

A PU (polyurethane) coating provides a waterproof barrier on fabrics, preventing water from penetrating the material. With a rating of 2000mm, it can withstand significant water pressure, making it suitable for tents and shelters. This means you can stay dry even in heavy rain, enhancing your outdoor experience.

Fully sealed seams involve sealing the stitched areas of the fabric with waterproof tape or coating. This construction technique prevents water from leaking through the needle holes, ensuring that your shelter remains dry inside, even during heavy rainfall. It’s a crucial feature for maintaining comfort and protection in wet weather.

Guy points are reinforced attachment points on a tent or tarp where guy lines can be connected. Having multiple guy points (like 20) allows for various setup configurations, providing flexibility and stability in different weather conditions. This means you can secure your shelter effectively, no matter how windy or rainy it gets.

Trail weight refers to the weight of the shelter when carried on the trail, including only the essential components for setup. A trail weight of 1lb 7oz is considered very lightweight, making it an excellent choice for backpackers who need to minimize the weight of their gear for long hikes. This feature allows you to carry more essentials without being weighed down.

The combination of Siliconized Cordura Nylon, PU coating, fully sealed seams, multiple guy points, and lightweight design ensures that your shelter is durable, waterproof, and easy to set up. These features work together to provide a reliable and comfortable environment, allowing you to focus on enjoying your outdoor adventures without worrying about the weather.
