Q. How Waterproof Is My Slumit Tent?
A. It is no secret that UK weather can be a touch fickle at times. That is why Slumit tents have a Hydrostatic Head rating / Polyutherane Coating [PU] from 4000mm – 3 times the British Standard [BSI]. Suitable for light summer showers.
All seams are fully taped and heat sealed to ensure fabric joints are not exposed to rain water under fitting conditions.
It is worth noting, like all tent fabrics, the level of waterproofing will deteriorate with use and age; exposure to UV light for long periods, careless packing of your tent (ie. scrunching fabric too tightly creasing the fabric), storing damp or wet can impair or diminish the protective qualities. To ensure continued performance, we recommend annual waterproofing of the outer rainfly. If the equipment is used frequently throughout the season, more regular waterproofing may be required.
