Outwell Dual Protectors extend your tent's life, and give your camp more flexibility and comfort. They protect the tent roof from hazards like bird mess and tree sap, as well as UV rays and heavy rain.__ It's called a 'dual' protector for a couple of reasons - one side is silver coated, so you can pitch it with that side facing out on warmer days to keep your tent cool. If used with the black side out, it helps to keep heat in on cooler days, and darkens the tent interior for a better night's sleep. It also has a zip-off side canopy that extends out from the centre, giving you extra shelter from sun or rain.__ Made using silver-coated Outtex 3000 fabric with taped seams, it adds another waterproof layer over your tent, and allows easy airflow between itself and the tent roof.
