Hello!
After about a week of carefully choosing my future tent, I was just about to leave to go and buy it (either the MSR elixir orthe LSR hubba hubba), and then I noticed a wee comment that these tents contain products linked to cancer.
After looking a bit on the internet, it seems to be fire retardants that are used on the tents that cause the problem, but people seem to take it more or less seriously given that we are probably surrounded by these chemicals every day.
It seems to be a US thing. Has anyone looked inot this and can tell me if european brands use these chemicals too? If there is a magic brand that doesnt use these chemicals? If the whole thing is a wee bit blown out of proportion.?
