Once an item is sold, found or thread is no longer needed we move it here. These maybe helpful for historic reasons.

I am not at home this week so will have to see what I can find at home/on the tent for details of the material on Monday. I can't really recall much about the tent's materials. I do know but that it has threads running through the material and if IIRC it was lighter than the nylon model.

Hi Andrew
The "Tex" in the name (Gore-Tex/Todd-Tex/Tetral-Tex) and the apparently "white" underside of the vestibule fly as well as the wrinkles suggested some sort of PTFE 2- 3 layer laminate but if that were the case it should be heavier.
than nylon. The sleeve looks like silnylon but hard to tell.
Thanks anyway.
(I could not find it in Google)
