We have a "Cotton" Biscaya 370, and to be fair, no matter what canvas your tent is, you don't want to be in it, when the mid day temps reach +40DegC, like they do in the Southern Ardeche in July.

The main advantage of "Cotton" is in the mornings, and evenings, when things are considerably more pleasurable, than say a "Polyester" tent.

I don't see Cabanon's "All Season Polyester" being any more comfortable, than "PolyCotton", in fact I would argue that "PolyCotton" would be the better option, although niether would be as good as "Cotton". in hot climes.

Hi carlb72.

                Had I known that Obelink, were doing a traditional "Cotton" frame tent with ZiG, that would have been my tent of choice instead of the "Cotton" Biscaya.

Anyway that was back in 2008, and the Biscaya has been fine.
