100 Denier Hicount Fabric with UV-Protek
Outdoor Connection tents use a high-performance 100 Denier (100D) HiCount polyester fabric for superior strength, water resistance and long-term durability.
The 100D thread weight means the fabric is made with thicker, stronger yarn, which improves tear resistance and abrasion strength. HiCount refers to the tightly woven thread density. More threads per inch means a more robust weave that repels water and resists damage.
Together, these features result in a protective, more rugged fabric ideal for Australian conditions. You can physically feel the extra weight and quality in the tent fly.
To maintain waterproof performance over years of use, Outdoor Connection applies a premium-grade Duraproof coating. Unlike standard coatings that wear down with repeated folding, this treatment resists abrasion and maintains its full 3000 mm Waterhead rating for the life of the tent.
Added to this is UV-Protek, a specialised treatment that shields the fabric and coating from sun damage. Without this, UV rays quickly degrade fabric and strip away waterproof coatings. Outdoor Connection selects only the most effective and long-lasting UV stabilisers, even though they cost more. Because performance matters.
