Tent Fabric, Specifications and Coatings Explained

Here's an short introduction to different tent specifications.

Hydrostatic Head (HH), water column or ‘waterproof’ ratings (measured in mm)

Polyester and nylon fabrics are not waterproof and so silicone or PU coatings are applied to give waterproof properties. The amount of water that they can ‘hold out’ is tested using a high column of water, which is measured in mm. Ratings range from 800mm up to a max of 10,000mm with ratings of 1500mm and higher generally considered ‘waterproof’.

All our tents have a rating of 3,000mm so are extremely reliable in bad weather!

What is Ripstop?

Ripstop fabrics have a special reinforcement that increases resistance to tearing and ripping. When weaving, a stronger thread is used at regular intervals to form a crosshatching, grid pattern visible in the fabric. This improves the strength of the fabric and makes any tears or holes less likely to spread.

We use the Ripstop fabric in ALL our Tarps & Tents to give you the best product available.

What to look for in your next tent fabric specs?

Generally, the higher the denier count the stronger and heavier the fabric will be, and the higher the mm rating the more ‘waterproof’ it will be. Have a look at the following ... 70D 190T Polyester Ripstop 3000mm CPAI-84:  This is a high quality polyester, fire-retardant tent fabric suitable for bad weather that is rip-resistant.  Perfect for camping tents.  All our tents have this high specification. 

40D Ripstop SilNylon 3000mm: This is a light 40 Denier nylon fabric suitable for ultralight tents or tarps. Rip-stop has better tear resistance; silicone coating topside and underside; a waterproof rating at 3000mm should handle most rain.  Our Ultralight Tarp is made from this material.
