Both Kerlon outer tent fabrics are of the highest quality and are chosen for their UV-tolerance.The essential secret to their performance is silicone coating. However, as it is the case with all synthetic fabrics, one should avoid unnecessary exposure to sunlight, direct contact with salt water and all sorts of chemicals. This is a very fine and light fabric which, despite its strength, is sensitive like all synthetic fabrics to UV-rays. One should not expose it to immediate strong sunlight for any extended periods.
