Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a shelter warranty?

As with all of our products, we warranty the shelters we sell to be free from manufacturing defects. Gossamer Gear does not, however, warranty products against materials or fabric failure due to durability issues.

Scuffs, punctures, or tears caused by wear, misuse or accidents are not covered; however, they can usually be fixed with tape by the user. Our products are constructed from ultralight materials, and some wear and tear is to be expected.

We recommend using a groundsheet in most situations in order to extend the life of your bathtub floor.

We also recommend reading more about how to alleviate shelter condensation.

A note about our DCF shelters: DCF is a fundamentally different fabric than silnylon. DCF is inherently inconsistent and close inspection will reveal line and color irregularities not present in other coated fabrics. These visual breaks are not considered defects.
