Polycotton tents provide a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to release humidity and insulate to keep in warmth. Polycotton tents are also durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton that is 60-70% polyester, 30-40% cotton.
As a mix of synthetic and natural fiber - polycotton possesses the best characteristics of both. Synthetic tents don’t breathe, so they become humid when occupied overnight. And synthetic fabrics tear and melt more easily than natural fabrics. Synthetics have almost no ability to hold warmth. At the other end of the spectrum, all-cotton tents are comfortable, durable, and hold warmth but they are heavy and bulky. They also require treatment to achieve waterproofness. Polycotton tents are comfortable, durable, waterproof, and hold warmth without being heavy and bulky.
Polycotton tarps offer a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to allow air circulation and are durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton composed of 60-70% polyester and 30-40% cotton.
As a blend of synthetic and natural fibers, polycotton combines the best characteristics of both materials. Synthetic fabrics are prone to tearing and melting more easily than natural ones. On the other hand, all-cotton tarps, while durable and quiet, are heavy, bulky, and require regular treatment to maintain waterproofness. Polycotton tarps provide comfort, durability, waterproof qualities, and quietness without the bulkiness or heaviness.
As always, with DOD products, this is definitely well made. But, I think it could be a bit lighter fabric that will also last a long time. But, it definitely worked when it dumped on my last trip.
Good rainfly. Actually also kept me really warm because it goes really far down and is thick.
Good to have if you have the Kangaroo.
I don't typically need this but I typically use my Kangaroo underneath the Big Top tent. But I do take it when I go camping with my motorcycle.
I've had the Kangaroo tent for a couple years now and never had a rainfly because
I lived in LA and pretty much camped during the summer when it doesn't rain in CA. Just moved to Tennessee this year and got this just in case.
Thank god I did because it poured on my last camping trip in June!
