G'day Chris,

I can see you've asked this on a few BlackWolf tents, but no, they don't use No-See-Um mesh, which is the only mesh type known to 100% prevent midges.

G'day Shiree,

Yes, the Turbo Lite 240 Tents have a silver inner coating on the fly. We're not entirely sure when Black Wolf starting doing this, unfortunately, we don't have archived records with this type of information. The Silver Coating helps add extra waterproofing and durability to the fly fabric.

G'day Simon,

Sometimes extendable awning poles get a little bit of dirt in them and cause a grinding sound that will make them a little tricky to open and close. My suggestion would be to try and use some WD-40 and then open and close it a few times to see if the dirt dislodges. 

G'day Alzine,

The Black Wolf Turbo Lite 240 Tent will usually take about 20 minutes to set up on your first attempt, and then each time you set it up you'll get a little quicker.  

G'day Alzina,

The Black Wolf Turbo Lite 240 Tent is lighter, packs down smaller and is cheaper than its canvas sibling. Whilst there is a reduced Waterhead rating on the Lite tent, you'd still need it to be absolutely pouring down to have any issues with leaking as 2000mm is still a very good rating for a tent to have. The Canvas tent will also probably be marginally better when it comes to condensation if you go camping in very cold conditions. 

G'day Alzina,

If you're camping in super cold conditions, then condensation can become a problem in any tent. Some tents can be better at keeping it out than others but overall, if you open up some ventilation in your tent then you'll reduce the condensation a fair bit.  

G'day Alzina,

The Black Wolf Turbo Lite 240 Tent is definitely waterproof. It's got a Waterhead rating of 5000mm for the floor and 2000mm for the fly. If you wanted some clarification around Waterhead ratings, you can check out our blog here. 

G'day Cathy,

The Black Wolf Turbo Tents, like most tents on the market, aren't coated or treated with any form of flame retardants. In every instance, we highly encourage against having any form of flame within any tent for this (and other) reasons.
