The first question most people have of a cover is: "Will it do the job?" The second is: "Will it last?" Our fabric is specifically made to perform—and perform well—over time. We make sure we test our fabric for all types of conditions, but we also make sure it does something more—instill confidence.

Cocooon covers do a better job than most when it comes to performance. Cocoon covers:

• Withstand UV radiation
• Resist tears and abrasion
• Have multi-use capability (on and off hundreds of times
• Redundant attachment systems for unforeseen damage
• Withstand wind whip

Performance Life and Field Testing

Below are the results following four months of exposure in both an extreme outdoor environment, a Xenon Lamp chamber (UV-specific testing environment) and in the Iraq theater:

• 95% tensile strength retention (average 177 pounds per inch at 100%
• High tear strength retention
• High waterproofness retention
• No change in air permeability
• Moisture permeability remained exceptionally high
• HEPA-rated membrane impenetrable by 99.97% of airborne particles of 0.3 micrometers and larger
