the tent’s coating and waterproong.
Use a brush to rub Nikwax Tech Wash in a 1:4 ratio with water on stub-
born stains. Follow up with Nikwax Tent & Gear Solarproof waterproo-
ng, applying generously to the area cleaned.
• When on the road, repair tears in the tent wall with repair tape and seal
from the inside with a PU or silicon seam sealer. The seam should however
be correctly repaired as soon as possible in order to prevent further
tearing. Please contact your retailer to do this.
• Tent pole shock cords can be retightened if necessary (elasticity can wear
out in very cold conditions or due to aging). To do this rst remove the end
cap and then untie the knot in the cord. Retie the knot further up the cord
and replace the cap.
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
Depending on tent models, VAUDE tents feature the following:
FEATURES:
Siliconized:
• Increases tent life by 20% - a triple coating reects damaging UV radiation
to a much greater degree than standard treatments.
• 8-times greater tear resistance – siliconized fabrics attain a tear resistance
of 8-11 kg compared to 1.3 kg of PU coated fabrics.
• Excellent water beading properties – water simply beads on the surface.
• Retensioning – the nylon carrier material swells up when damp or wet.
The tent needs to be retensed if rain/snow initiate.
• Sealing – siliconized materials cannot be factory seam sealed (exception:
VAUDE Silicon Seam Seal). When camping in extremely rainy conditions
we recommend sealing all seams by hand with a silicon seam sealer.
FLY:
Tear-resistant 40D polyamide ripstop PU/SI; waterproof to 5,000 mm.
• High resistance to tearing due to light but tensile polyamide fabric with
embedded strengthening bres
• PU/SI - Polyurethane coating to the inner surfaces for maximum comfort
due to reduced condensation build-up. Triple silicon coating to the outer
