 Can't over emphasize the breathable covers for a westy. I have had several
customers in humid areas trap moisture between their non breathable covers &
their canvas tilts I sold them, & create an area where mold & mildew can
readily grow on the canvas.  The same could happen on the westy pop up tent?

Tom-mold & mildew very hard to remove
