ToddTex Fabric
ToddTex
ToddTex is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film, a thin film of
stretched Teflon, laminated to a ripstop outer fabric and a fuzzy polyester
inner fabric. Outer layer is a 30-denier high tenacity nylon ripstop
woven in a symmetric 132 x 132 count pattern with UV resistant and
DWR finish. Inner layer is a fuzzy Nexus lining that wicks water as
fast as a paper towel. This action disperses moisture across the interior
of the tent for rapid evaporation through the PTFE membrane.
