3-layer 30D Tegraltex FR vs. 3-layer 15D eVent®

[mikebromberg]

Does anyone have first hand experience with the difference of these two fabrics?

 

"FR" is a fire retardant version, Event is known for being excellent. Is the FR tegraltex that much worse?

30D is twice as burl if durability matters...

Interesting that it is "twice as burl", but the Integral Designs tents made of the stuff are listed as lighter than the same tents in eVent. Usually burl = weight....

 

Well that was incorrect...it is the opposite except for one of the tents...the Chock Solo (vs Chock Solo FR).

Thanks. Durability is less important than breathability. Being flame retardant is probably the least important factor in my opinion.
