    Tarps with PFC / PFA Free DWR Coatings

    Does anyone know of any manufacturers making tarps with a DWR coating that does not contain PFA / PFC?

    I've been looking at the UGQ Penny-Pincher and Dutch Bonded Xenon tarps, but I don't think the Xenon has switched to a PFC-free DWR yet, and I haven't found anything about the DWR used in the UGQ tarps.

    Any information would be appreciated, thanks!

    Reach out to Kyle at Ripstop by the Roll. Maybe he can fill you in on what products are used on the various fabrics. I know some of the fly makers source material from him. That might narrow your search.

    ( I shy away from calling the various sophisticated rainflies "tarps"... )

    Just a quick follow-up... I reached out to Ripstop-by-the-Roll and they suggested their ECO 1.1 Silpoly, and also suggested I contact UGQ. Paul from UGQ got back to me today and instructed me on how to custom order my tarp to be made from the ECO 1.1 Silpoly fabric. I placed my order and look forward to using it when it comes!
