These type of shelters made by Six Moon Designs require an after-production sealant to be applied to all the sewn seams that would be vulnerable to precipitation. This not only creates a watertight bond between the pieces of fabric and fills the tiny holes created by the sewing machine, but also adds strength to the seams. This process is required to make the shelters completely waterproof.
Nous avons essuyer un grosse pluie en marchant, puis un bel orage de nuit et je suis resté au sec … Bref un très bon produit, bien pensé. Demande un peu d’habitude au montage, mais pas un problème avec un peu d’entrainement.
