Chemically treated fibers are used in the fabric of this
product. Chemically treated fibers may liquefy when
burned, the liquefied fabric may stick to skin and cause
serious burns. Never bring fire close to tents, shelters or
tarps.
Wrinkles caused by folding are noticeable
Commonly used chemically treated fibers used in tents,
shelters and tarps are prone to creases. In particular, the
fabric in this product has noticeable wrinkles due to the
color, thickness, and surface processing of fabric. Please
note that it does not affect performance in any way.
Use of a wood stove is absolutely prohibited.
■About this product
Please take some time to understand the
characteristics of this product before using it.

Waterproofing performance is reduced
The surface is treated with silicone water repellent, but after
use, the water repellent performance will deteriorate and
rain will eventually penetrate the fabric. Please note that the
water repellency cannot be maintained long term.
Waterproof performance of the back side is not affected,
so even if water repellency deteriorates, there is no issue
using it as it is.
Discoloration of seam tape
Please note that the seam tape will gradually discolor, but
this will not affect the performance of the product.
Thoroughly dry and store
If tent is stored while wet, the polyurethane coating on the
back of the fabric will react with the moisture and may
decompose or peel off, causing the seam tape to come off
and diminish its waterproofness. After using, dry
thoroughly and store away from hot or humid places. Be
extra careful to wipe any moisture from the seams.

zippers may freezes or in snow.
Do not remove the fire prohibition tag
Do not cut or remove the fire-prohibited tag sewn into the
