Basically that's the question I have. Did an overnighter in a campsite under my tarp and it was very wet with condensation inside too due to low wind. I packed it up and forgot to take it out to dry when I got home. About a month later I went on another overnighter and got it out of the stuff sack and it was wet. Another wet night but with a very strong wind which got inside the tarp too so it should have helped to prevent the condensation forming but it didn't. Well it got wet inside but unlike normally with condensation the tarp let large droplets fall from it all over the tarp. These did not run down the tarp towards the edge like most of the time but fell where they were formed. Even when it stopped raining and the inside should have dried but when the rain came back so did the drops.
I suspect that the silicone treatment might have come off it. What do you people think? Anyway I might get something like Fabsil and see if re-proofing it will work.
