Spatz Tents Breathe
The indoor climate in a cotton tent is incomparable. Cotton is a natural fibre with excellent breathability. That's why condensation or dampness in the morning is not an issue. In hot weather, cotton offers a pleasant, ventilated climate and a very high and a very high UV protection factor of 50+.
When wet, the tightly woven cotton swells — the tent becomes waterproof in a completely natural way.
Fabrics & Materials
Fabrics
Our tents use fabrics made exclusively for Spatz from thefinest cotton: breathable, temperature-balancing, waterproof, durable, UV-resistant, free from mould and with a UV protection factor of 50+.
Our cotton is selected and woven in Pakistan.
SPATZ Flamingo
For our 100% cotton tents we mainly use our popular SPATZ Flamingo fabric made of finest cotton (140g/m²).
SPATZ Tentstar
For those tents that are under a lot of tension due to the construction, we use the even slightly stronger SPATZ Tentstar fabric (225 g/m²). Developed exclusively for Spatz and made of 100% cotton.
BTC (Breathable Technical Cotton)
All the tents from the "Family" category use our BTC fabric made of 60% Polyester and 40% cotton. It keeps the great properties of cotton in terms of breathability and water-resistancy but is lighter and smaller in volume than 100% cotton fabric. As a result our family tents are more portable, easy-to-transport and take less storage space.
Floors
For our BTC tents we use a special floor made of PU coated Polyester Taffeta. The 100% cotton tents have a durable PVC-floor. Both are completely waterproof, coated on both sides, highly abrasive-resistant and very easy to clean with a sponge and mild detergent.
Zippers
It's all in the details: for our SPATZ tents, we rely on proven quality from YKK. Zippers have to run smoothly — and for a lifetime.
Aluminium Poles
Our poles are manufactured at the Altried Foundation in Zurich which creates a living space for people with impairment. The aluminium poles are of high strength and very durable and resistant.
