Yes, my Filey Classic is all polycotton (Fly sheet, inner bedrooms and curtains).
I stand to be corrected, but I think the Croyde Classic bedrooms and curtains are polyester? (The one I looked at was, but that was around 2014, or whenever they came out?)
The (polycotton) roof liner in my Filey is also great in warmer climes, cooling the main living area even more.
Just a point of reference, but most/many polycotton tents from the likes of Vango & Outwell are 65% cotton, or certainly were 4 or 5 years ago. My Filey,(& Frinton) and I believe all the Kampa polycotton, is "only" 35% cotton.
I was a little disappointed when I first found that out (I already had both my Kampa Classics by then), but a little amateur investigation failed to find any significant difference, in sight, smell, sound or touch... I didn't do the lick test, so cannot comment on taste! I suspect you'd need lab conditions to actually tell the difference!
This is from my Kampa Frinton Classic, but there's an identical label in my Filey Classic. I believe they refer to Flysheet (Top line), then Inners (bedrooms) then SIG...

In our Holkham everything apart from the SIG is Polycotton but there is no roof liner with it. I have 2 Outwell Polycottons and to be honest in the real world I don't notice the difference

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
