be correctly repaired as soon as possible in order
to prevent further tearing. Please contact your
retailer to do this.
• Tent pole shock cords can be retightened if neces-
sary (elasticity can wear out in very cold conditions
or due to aging). To do this fi rst remove the end cap
and then untie the knot in the cord. Retie the knot
further up the cord and replace the cap (W).
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
Depending on tent models, VAUDE tents feature
the following:
SILICONISED:
• Increases tent life by 20% - a triple coating refl ects
damaging UV radiation to a much greater degree
than standard treatments.
• 8-times greater tear resistance – siliconised fabrics
attain a tear resistance of 8-11 kg compared to 1.3
kg of PU coated fabrics.
• Excellent water beading properties – water simply
beads on the surface.
• Retensioning – the Polyamid carrier material swells
up when damp or wet. The tent needs to be re-
tensed if rain/snow initiate.
• Sealing – siliconised materials cannot be factory
seam sealed (exception: VAUDE Silicon Seam Seal).
When camping in extremely rainy conditions we re-
commend sealing all seams by hand with a silicon
seam sealer.
FLY:
TEAR-RESISTANT 40D POLYAMIDE RIPSTOP 240T SI/SI;
WATERPROOF TO 3,000 MM.
• High resistance to tearing due to tensile polyamide
fabric embedded with reinforcing fi bres.
• Triple silicon coating to the outer and inner surfaces
for maximum tear-resistance and water run off, as
well as increased UV-resistance.
INNER TENT:
30D POLYESTER RIPSTOP 285T.
285T - tightly woven ripstop polyester. Wind, sand and
snow proof with high tear resistance and breathability.
