I have two Tarptents, one purchased in 2007, the other in 2010.
Do I need to be worried about their water repellency? Put differently, does tent fabric tend to lose its ability to repel water because of age?
My older tent, most similar to the Protrail, always had a tendency to "mist" during a heavy rain. My Rainbow does, too, but not as much.
Before starting off on my grand adventure southbound, I'm starting to get a bit nervous that the "mist" is more a sign of age than of the inherent demon of a single wall tent.
For those with old single wall tents still in use, any thoughts?
