Hearing you say "crème de la crème" has made my day! This is a very interesting video and it was Paul Messner that mentioned thus video in his latest video and this is how i found you.
For the floor it is practical with a PE/ Pu coating. (PE is an evolution of PU) As this coating gives a much higher hydrostatic Head which it needs as the floor is subject to pressure when stepping on it, etc. But on the floor we only use PU/ PE and not in combination with silicon as many manufacturers do with the flysheet. The silicon wanders through the fabric and makes the PU/ PE peel off after some time. This is not the same case when the fabric contains only PU/ PE on just the one side of the fabric. So. For the floor we are able to use PU/ PE without the same deterioration as you will experience with the flysheet.
Veldig bra video innslag , mykje ny lærdom om kvaliteten på stoffet som brukes. ka blir det hydrostatiske nivået ( mm vannsøyle ) når en bruker Nylon 66 m sil/sil?
Is it important to seam seal a Nortent right away when you get it? Or is it fine to just seam seal before you use it (like if it sits in your closet for a year before you use it)?
Love your tents but for the very high MSRP you charge it should be silpoly, not silnylon and should be factory seam sealed. Dan Durston uses SilPoly in all of his tents because it has superior UV resistance and does not sag when wet.

Myself have not long back ordered a vern 1 new with you but will take some time to come back, but its something to look forward to.
It would have been interesting to know the weights of the fabric as a comparison
Love my Gamme 6. 🔥💯 Well done Nortent!
Very informative video. I deffenatly learned a few things!
Super informative, Thanks
what about PE coating for tent floors? Will PE have less problems developing a bad smell and falling-apart compared to PU coatings ?

Seal before you take it out.
