What Kind Of Fabric Is Poly Oxford Fabric? by qiansi fang

Basic Information:
  • Therefore, each tent fabric has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, you may need a light tent to be easy to carry, or you need to set up a tent in June and wait until September to access it even in the worst weather? Or do you need something that dries quickly so that you can leave the camp as soon as possible?

    Most tents are made of nylon or polyester. Among the 10 ton tents, you will usually find polyester and polyester cotton tents because nylon is usually used for light backpack tents, not for large and heavy family tents or roof tents.

    Polyester tent cloth

    Polyester is a popular choice because it is inexpensive and performs well in all weather conditions. Polyester is the most commonly used fabric in tents. Although it is not waterproof (unless it is coated), it does not change its shape when wet (unlike nylon), and its performance in sunlight is not too bad. It is also more durable than nylon, although heavier, it is not too heavy, and the packaging is quite small. Polyester also dries relatively quickly and has natural mildew and tear resistance.

    On the reverse side of the coin, especially compared with the traditional tent fabric THE, cotton and polyester are not very good insulators. This means that the polyester tent becomes very hot when it is warm and becomes cold when it is cold. In addition, especially when the paint has been applied, it is not breathable, which may cause condensation to accumulate inside.

    Also keep in mind that over time, they may change color from exposure to sunlight, and as ultraviolet rays break down molecules, the fabric will weaken.

    Advantages: low maintenance, strength, resistance to stretching and tearing, not too heavy, moderate price, small packaging, good mold resistance, waterproof

    Disadvantages: poor UV resistance, poor insulation, low air permeability, resulting in condensation, and limited service life

    Cotton/canvas tent cloth

    Cotton cloth or canvas is the original material, a kind of tent fabric that your grandpa might use. Long ago, the canvas was made of ***, but nowadays, the tent canvas is made of cotton. Manufacturers tend to use both methods at the same time, which can cause confusion, but the two (cotton and canvas) are the same thing.

    The cotton is thick, durable, breathable, and naturally waterproof, without any coating. As the water begins to soak through the fabric, the fibers expand and expand, sealing the gaps between the threads. Since the expansion process takes time, it may leak for the first time in the rain, so this is a good suggestion to make weather/season adjustments before using the cotton tent for the first time.

    Cotton also has good thermal properties, and it is an excellent insulator. The tent stays cool in the summer, and if the weather turns cooler, keep it warm.

    Since it is naturally breathable and absorbs water, there will be no problems with condensation.

    It is thick and heavy, which not only makes it a good thermal insulation material but also makes it a very good sound insulation material: it is quieter and will not be like the light breeze on a polyester tent.

    The downside is that cotton is bulky. Because of its heavyweight, it is not easy to carry, you must double-check whether it fits in the trunk of your car. Pitching also requires more effort.

    It also needs more maintenance. Before placing the tent, the materials need to be dried, otherwise, mold will develop in the tent. Since cotton absorbs water, it may take longer to dry than any polyester tent.

    As a natural fiber, cotton is much easier to tear, and it is easy to tear into huge cracks.

    Finally, cotton tents are not cheap.

    Advantages: Breathable, naturally waterproof, reduced condensation, good insulation, long service life, strong UV resistance

    Disadvantages: expensive, heavy, bulky, easy to mold, cannot be used out of the box, needs maintenance, and needs to be dried before packaging

    Polyester cotton tent cloth

    Polycotton is a mixture of cotton and polyester. While maintaining all the high-quality cotton, it also has some of the advantages of polyester tents. The main fabric is cotton, and there are polyester fibers in the weaving, so it inherits some mildew resistance, is stronger than pure cotton, and has less possibility of tearing. Polycotton can be uncoated, but there is usually a coating to repel water.

    Its durability, breathability, and weather resistance make it ideal for family camping tents, ***, and roof tents.

    Advantages: better strength and mildew resistance than cotton, better UV resistance, and heat resistance than polyester, breathable, less moisture and condensation, longer life, heavier than cotton canvas

    Disadvantages: high cost, still bulky, lower mold resistance than polyester

    Poly Oxford Fabric

    Poly Oxford Fabric is another woven form, which has better strength and durability. Although it feels like cotton, it is waterproof and durable. It is significantly lighter.
