WeatherTec™+ system – an assessment of our tent’s resistance to the elements

 

WeatherTec™+  is the Coleman assessment of how ‘weather proof’ we gauge our tents and shelters. There are many factors which influence the performance of tent in tough weather conditions. Coleman use the latest technology and a rigorous testing regime to ensure that we keep you protected at all times – whatever the weather.

 

One key area we examine is a tent’s ability to repel water. A fabric’s waterproof properties are measured using a rating called hydrostatic head. If a tent has a hydrostatic head of 3000mm it means that a 3 metre column of water can be placed on its surface before any drops will show through the underside of the fabric. 

 

The areas of the tent rigorously assessed within WeatherTec™+ system include: fabrics, flysheet and ground sheet seams and zipper water tightness.
