Why Are TETON Canvas Sleeping Bags Made of Polyester Canvas Instead of Traditional Canvas?Updated 8 months ago

We use polyester canvas in our sleeping bags because it’s built for adventure—just like you. Here’s why we opted for polyester over traditional cotton canvas:

• Tough as Nails: Polyester canvas is super durable, perfect for withstanding the wear and tear of the great outdoors. It’s tougher than traditional canvas, meaning your sleeping bag can handle more rugged conditions.
• Water-Resistant Wonder: Unlike cotton, polyester naturally repels water. So if you're caught in a bit of rain or dampness, polyester canvas helps keep the moisture out, making it a better choice for camping trips.
• Lightweight Champ: We know packing light is key, so polyester canvas is a lighter alternative to traditional canvas. It’s sturdy without weighing you down!
• Quick-Drying Hero: Got caught in a rainstorm? No worries! Polyester dries much faster than cotton canvas, so you won’t be stuck with a soggy sleeping bag for long.

We chose polyester canvas because it’s strong, weather-resistant, and lightweight—everything you need for an epic outdoor adventure. If you have more questions, let us know. We’re always here to help!
