A few years ago I replace the OEM canvas on my Westy, with the 3 vent acrylic canvas offered by our various vendors. Last summer I camped in the Olympic National Forest. That's a rain forest for those who don't know. It rained all night. It was a lovely night and I was snug and dry on the inside. I intentionally chose the acrylic canvas over cotton due to my living in areas of high humidity and didn't want to worry about mold and mildew.
