Tent Material Guide
How do the pros and cons of a material fit in with our camping style?
All our materials – including groundsheets – will keep out wind and water. But materials do this in different ways and may require a different set of camping skills to ensure they do this efficiently.
Variables like time, money, use, space will also affect choice.

Our tents are made from specially created Outtex® polycotton or polyester fabrics and our simple guide will help you understand which one is suitable for your needs.
