What we were looking for
100% cotton canvas (8-10 oz), no coatings to delaminate.
Why this is our pick
Form narrowed to car-camping / semi-permanent shelter where weight is not critical. Cotton canvas avoids coating delamination; repairable by canvas shops; waterproofing is renewable; can last 20+ years if stored dry and maintained.
Why other products fell short
- Backpacking tents rely on PU/silicone coatings that delaminate with time/UV; category becomes EMPTY when packability is required.
