"The flysheet is Khyam's own Weatherweave Pro, a durable double coated polyester with 5000mm hydrostatic head waterproof protection and fully taped seams".
Sounds good, maybe even very good... but polycotton it ain't!
Hang on... I may have been a tad hasty... maybe older ones have been polycotton?
Have you seen an ad for a polycotton? Are we talking brand new, or an older used model?
As for Khyam in general, I'm not overly familiar with them myself, but I get the impression they are a "recognised and reasonably respected" manufacturer... at the very least.
I may not have been much help, but at least the sad blue face has now gone!!
They did make a poly cotton some years ago, not sure if they still do as they now tend to sell direct or through a few retailers. I can't remember what level of poly cotton it was as in was it a 65% cotton 35% polyester etc. I can't remember if they had a sewn in groundsheet either but they were always good quality. My thoughts are they were fast pitching in their day but now there are inflatables... Im sure it will be a lot less than a polycotton inflatable though.
