<p><a href="https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/9223/what-are-some-techniques-to-avoid-touching-a-wet-tent-wall">This question</a> about how not to make anything touch the outer wall of the tent implies that doing so lets the outer tent leak water through. I never head this problem with my <a href="http://www.vango.co.uk/gb/duke-of-edinburgh-recommended/177-mirage-300.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">vango mirage tent</a> during a recent trip in heavy rain and wind even though my bag touched the outer tent and the wind pushed the outer tent onto the lower parts of the inner tent on the sides. Still from scouting I know that with <a href="https://www.spatz.ch/default/zelte/zeltart/hauszelt/gruppen-spatz-180.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this Spatz tent</a> the outer tent will leak when touched from the inside.</p> <p>What materials/surface treatments of tent outer walls do/don't leak water when touched from the inside?</p> <p>As a bonus but not really outdoor related: What is the reason for one material to (not) leak?</p> <p>EDIT: The distinction that it is not leaking before touching and leaking after touching is important. It is obvious that when it leaked before and you touch the outer, that the inner gets wet.</p>
