SILLITE

• Ultralite waterproof fabric
• Awesome strength to weight ratio and tear strength compared to conventional tent fabrics and PU-coated fabrics.
• It weighs just 1.76 oz/sq. yd (60 g/sq. m) and has a tear strength of 9.5 lbs (4.3 kg).
• Silicone-elastomere fabrics allow their fibers to stretch without separating or breaking, and this makes them stronger than conventional PU-coated (or PU/siliconized) fabrics for a far lower weight
• Silicone impregnation means that the silicone completely permeates the fibers and also makes the fabric hydrophobic, so it doesn’t soak up water. It is also less likely to wear away or degrade in UV light than PU.
