Dyneema fabric is incredibly lightweight, rainproof, and offers an unparalleled resistance to stretching or sagging. Its unique structure has an extremely high tear-strength and allows for a tent or rainfly to employ a welded construction, eliminating the need for sewn and taped seams. This enhances the durability and waterproofness of the design. Dyneema can be punctured, but even if punctured, the fabric resists tearing better than traditional tent materials.

If you do experience a puncture with your Big Agnes tent, Gear Specialist Troy walks through how to use the included Dyneema patch to repair your tent for many more outdoor adventures.
