CARE & MAINTENANCE TIPS

🧼 Cleaning Your Noir 6 Full Flysheet

Learn how to gently clean your flysheet without damaging the waterproof coating, plus tips for removing dirt, stains, and mildew.

1. Shake Off Dirt & Debris

Before packing, shake out loose dirt, sand, and leaves.
For stubborn debris, use a soft brush or damp cloth.

2. Spot Clean When Needed

Use lukewarm water and mild, non-detergent soap (no bleach or harsh chemicals).
Gently wipe down the fabric with a sponge or microfiber cloth.
Avoid soaking the material—excess moisture can weaken the waterproof coating.

3. Air Dry Completely

Hang the flysheet fully extended in a well-ventilated area.
Let it dry completely before packing to prevent mold and mildew.
Never use a dryer, hairdryer, or direct heat source to speed up drying.

🌦️ Maintaining Waterproofing & UV Protection

Find out how to test, maintain, and reapply waterproofing to keep your tent dry in all conditions.

1. Regularly Check Water Resistance

The PU 2000mm coating provides strong waterproofing, but exposure to sun, rain, and dirt can wear it down.
If water stops beading on the surface, it’s time to reapply a waterproofing treatment.

2. Reapply Waterproofing When Needed

Use a PU-compatible, PFAS-free waterproofing spray on a clean, dry flysheet.
Focus on high-wear areas, especially where the flysheet connects to the tent.

3. Protect Against UV Damage

Long-term exposure to direct sunlight can break down the fabric.
When possible, set up in partial shade or use a UV-protectant spray to extend fabric life.

⛺ Storing Your Noir 6 Full Flysheet Properly

Discover the best way to pack, store, and protect your flysheet from mold, mildew, and fabric damage.

1. Always Store It Dry

A damp flysheet can develop mold, mildew, and odors.
If you must pack it wet, open it to air dry as soon as possible.

2. Fold It Gently – No Overpacking

Over-folding can cause creases that weaken waterproofing over time.
Fold loosely and store in a breathable bag rather than a tight compression sack.

3. Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Keep it away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and moisture.
A closet, gear shelf, or garage is ideal—avoid humid basements or attics.

🚨 Avoiding Common Flysheet Care Mistakes

❌ Never machine wash or submerge the flysheet in water.
❌ Don’t scrub aggressively or use bleach-based cleaners.
❌ Avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent fabric degradation.
❌ Never pack it damp—always air dry fully before storing.

By following these simple care tips, your Noir 6 Full Flysheet will keep providing strong weather protection and extra shade for all your adventures! 🏕️🌦️

SAFETY GUIDELINES

We all want to have fun on our camping adventures, and no one wants anything to go wrong. It’s always best to be prepared to ensure a safe and pleasant trip. I know safety isn’t the most exciting topic, but when something goes wrong, hindsight is an awful experience—so take a quick read and stay ahead of any potential risks!

A little preparation goes a long way—stay safe and enjoy your adventure!

FIRE AND FLAMMABILITY HAZARD

This flysheet complies with CPAI-84 flammability standards but is NOT FIREPROOF. Any fabric can burn if exposed to flames or intense heat.

DO NOT use matches, lighters, stoves, heaters, grills, candles, or other open flames inside or near the tent. Maintain a safe distance between the tent and campfires or other ignition sources.
DO NOT spray the tent with insecticides or apply water repellents not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may impact material performance.

VENTILATION AND AIR QUALITY

Proper ventilation is critical to prevent condensation buildup and to maintain air quality inside the tent..

Use the flysheet’s ventilation points as directed to ensure airflow.
Check for and clear any obstructions to ventilation openings.
DO NOT Seal the tent completely during use without ensuring adequate ventilation.
DO NOT Use fuel-burning devices inside or near the flysheet..

STRUCTURAL AND FRAME SAFETY

The flysheet must be properly tensioned to maintain structural integrity. Take precautions to:

Ensure all poles are correctly assembled and secured.
Use the included stakes and guy lines to stabilize the flysheet during setup.
Re-check tension points regularly in windy or wet conditions.

CHILD SAFETY

Always supervise children during set-up, use and takedown.

Keep cords, stakes, and packaging materials out of reach to prevent choking or entanglement hazards.
Ensure children are never left unattended inside the tent.

WEATHER SAFETY

The Noir 6 Full Flysheet provides strong weather protection but is not rated for extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes or heavy snowfall.

Always Pitch the tent in a sheltered area to reduce wind exposure.
Secure the flysheet with all stakes and guy lines to prevent displacement.

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

Dry the flysheet thoroughly before storage to prevent mold and material degradation.
Inspect regularly for wear or damage. Replace compromised parts before use.
Store in a cool, dry place to maintain material integrity.

GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS

Keep all exits clear and accessible in case of emergency.
DO NOT Modify the flysheet or use it for unintended purposes.
DO NOT Use abrasive materials that may damage the fabric or waterproof coating.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why does the inner bedroom have vents if its supposed to insulate?

The vents in the inner tent are designed to balance insulation and breathability. While the Duo GS Maxx provides thermal regulation, proper airflow is essential to prevent condensation and ensure a comfortable sleeping environment. The vents allow controlled ventilation without compromising the insulation.

Does the tent block sound?

The Duo GS Maxx slightly reduces decibel levels, helping dampen outside noise. However, it is not designed for full soundproofing. To completely block sound, you would need specialized materials with mass-loaded barriers, which are not practical for a camping tent.

What causes condensation in my tent, and how do I resolve it?

Condensation occurs when warm air inside the tent meets the cooler fabric, leading to moisture buildup. This can be caused by:

Breathing, cooking, or wet gear inside the tent
Lack of airflow trapping humidity
Cool temperatures outside vs. warmth inside

🔹 How to Reduce Condensation:

Keep the vents open for better airflow.
Avoid bringing wet gear inside.
Use a groundsheet that matches the tent size to minimize moisture from the ground.
If possible, pitch the tent in a well-ventilated area.

My tent fabric has faded and turned paper-like – what happened?

This is due to prolonged direct UV exposure. While the Duo GS Maxx fabric is durable, extended exposure to the sun’s UV rays breaks down the material, causing it to fade and become brittle. To extend your tent’s lifespan:

Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Use a UV-protective spray if you expect long-term sun exposure.
Avoid leaving the tent pitched for extended periods.

Can I leave my tent up permanently?

No, the Duo GS Maxx is a leisure tent, not designed for permanent setup. Prolonged exposure to the elements—sun, rain, wind, and humidity—will degrade the fabric, seams, and waterproofing over time. If you need a tent for long-term outdoor use, consider a more robust, heavy-duty structure built for extended exposure.
