HIGH TECH TEXTILES - Dralon

Condensation is a natural phenomenon in a campsite tent. When the outside temperature falls below the temperature inside the tent, the moisture in the air condenses on the inside walls of the tent in the form of water droplets. This usually happens in the evening, at night, or at high altitudes when the fabric is coldest.

Tent fabric cannot be solely waterproof, as it would be unsuitable for camping; one of its main properties must be breathability, allowing every bit of fabric to contribute to the natural exchange of air. This basic principle should be adhered to, especially in environments with limited air volumes, such as a tent, to prevent condensation from forming. It is impossible to eliminate condensation entirely during use, as many factors contribute to it. There will be climate and usage circumstances when it is necessary to utilize a tent opening to reduce condensation build-up while in use. 

BE AWARE OF FALSE CERTIFICATIONS

There are roof tents on the market that do not have any real product certification. Beware of certifications such as ISO 9001 that some sellers advertise because they concern the company organization and are not at all a guarantee of the quality and security of the tent you are going to buy.

On the contrary, Autohome roof tents have passed stringent quality tests of the materials used, carried out in the laboratories of qualified Bodies, including the German TÜV.

With Autohome, quality is standard: production is not differentiated. The tents used by experts in the most extreme conditions, explorers, travel professionals, and adventurers are exactly the same as all the others: the highest quality tents from Autohome, with over 65 years of experience, are available to everyone.
