A number of fine folk, here and elsewhere, asked if I could follow up my article on tent design with something similar on tent fabrics. It took some research, but my first draft is now available. My aim, as before, was to give an objective overview of all the options which is free of marketing hype and BS. It turns out that my 8 years working with the material science of powders (mostly their wetability and water holding capacity) had a lot of cross over into the world of waterproof fabrics. Perhaps I should not have been surprised.
Here it is:
