Pros Of A Nylon Tent

• Lightweight Material Nylon tents are lighter in
  weight and easier to assemble. They are a great
  tenting option for backpackers, hikers, and
  campers.
• Cheaper Cost Being a cheaper material, nylon can
  serve as an efficient tent fabric with a
  relatively lesser cost involved.
• Quick Dry A major advantage of nylon tent is its
  ability to dry off quickly making it
  ready-to-pack in a short time.
• Easy Maintenance Nylon tents allow a care-free
  application as they do not rip or wear off over
  frequent usage easily.
• Water Resistant Treated and high-quality nylon
  tents resist water from passing through the
  fabric. The quality of tent can vary depending on
  the fabric tent service provider.

Cons of a Nylon Tent

• Deterioration Long-term frequent usage and
  exposure to sunlight can cause nylon tents to
  deteriorate and lose colors.
• Unstable in High-Speed Winds Due to lighter
  weight, nylon tents are prone to flap in
  high-speed winds.
• Poor to Moderate Insulation Nylon is not a good
  insulator and causes extreme conditions of
  temperature levels inside during both, summer and
  winter seasons.

Pros of a Canvas Tent

• Well-Insulated Unlike nylon, canvas has good
  insulation properties allowing it to maintain
  temperatures inside the tent.
• Highly Durable Canvas tents are strong and
  durable in nature, and they do not lose colors
  due to sunlight.
• Stable Being heavier in weight, canvas tent does
  not flap in high-speed winds.
• Easy-to-Breathe Canvas allows air to pass
  through. This means that people do not feel
  suffocated inside the tent.

Cons of a Canvas Tent

• Bulky Canvas tents are heavier in weight and
  bulky to contain.

  to dry off and also require a regular cleaning.
