The outer and inner cover of the tent has undergone special treatment with a flame retardant which delays the spread of flames if any fall on the tent. The small vestibule of the Darwin 2 is very practical for your shoes and camping gear. Inside, there are side storage pockets for small items, while at the top of the tent there are the 2 vents.
Lightweight camping tent for 2 people with excellent waterproof protection of 3000 mm and low weight. With a packed size of just 14 x 48 cm, the Darwin 2 tent from Coleman is easy to carry and does not take up much space in your overall gear.
Construction
Material
The cover is made of 185T 68D polyester, which offers excellent waterproofing up to 3000mm of rain. The inner fabric is made of breathable 185T 68D polyester. The tent floor is made of PE, 120 g/m². The seams on the cover and floor are waterproofed for maximum durability and water tightness.
Double Canvas
The tent contains 2 separate layers, which are placed one on top of the other on its roof or upper part.
Usually, the first layer has waterproofing, while the second is a layer that allows air passage and offers better ventilation in the tent.
Fiberglass frame
The frame made of fiberglass is a common choice for the construction of camping tents. It is a lightweight and durable material, made from fiberglass fibers that are usually coated with polyester to protect them from water and moisture.
Fiberglass is flexible, so the frame can be lightweight and flexible to support the tent fabric.

What does the waterproof rating on camping tents indicate?
The waterproofing of a tent indicates how much water its outer fabric can repel. It is measured in millimeters (mm) and refers to the number of millimeters of a vertical water column (and thus pressure) that one square centimeter of fabric can withstand without being penetrated by water.
The higher the degree of waterproofing, the less breathable the fabric is, and thus the warmer the tent. Common waterproofing values range from 500mm to 10000mm. Theoretically, any fabric with waterproofing >1000mm is considered waterproof. Indicatively, a summer tent may have waterproofing from 500 to 1500mm.
What do the characteristics Polyester 185T and 68D mean?
They are indicators for comparing the durability of two fabrics made from the same material
T means Thread which refers to fiber, and the number indicates the sum of the vertical and horizontal fibers in a square inch of fabric (see photo). The higher the Thread count, the denser the weave and the greater the fabric's durability.
D means Denier and it is a unit of measurement for the thickness of a thread. A smaller denier means a finer fiber, while a larger denier means a thicker, more durable fiber. To calculate the Denier of a polyester fiber, a piece 9,000 meters long is weighed, and the resulting grams are the Denier of the fiber. Therefore, if a 9,000-meter-long polyester fiber weighs 210 grams, then its Denier is 210.
