It is the pressure limit of millimeters of vertical water column that a square millimeter of the tent's fabric can withstand without being penetrated by water. The higher the number, the greater the tent's resistance to rain.

2000mm

Tents with a waterproof rating above 1000mm up to 2000mm can withstand light rain, as shown in the chart.

They can handle typical rain during the Spring, Summer, and Autumn seasons.

The weight of tents is usually referred to as the minimum weight (the combined weight of the fabric and frame), but may not include other accessories in the package such as stakes, carrying bag, ropes, etc.
