Seek Outside Factory Seam Seal Quality

[WyomingPicker]

Hey Everyone,

I would like to hear some first hand accounts of the quality of Seek Outsides factory seam sealing option on their shelters.

Soon I plan to buy an 8 man tipi and cannot decide whether to have them do it or spend the time myself.

If you purchased a shelter from them factory seam sealed were you happy with the results or wish you would have done it yourself.

Thanks

Just recently got a Cimmaron and had them seal it, they did a great job.

Have a 4P teepee from Seek that was factory sealed. Good clean seals, no missed spots. I then got a great deal on a blemish sale on an 8 man teepee from them and sealed it myself. Took a looong time and wasn’t as easy as I imagined it. I’d pay for factory sealing if I ever needed to get another shelter.

Thank you for the reply!

I bought a Cimarron Light two years ago and seamed spilled it myself. It took a little time to do, but wasn’t bad. It has held up well to moderate to heavy use.

6-man tipi with factory sealing. Very high quality and has held up to plenty of wet weather…

I sent in a ripped cimmaron for repairs a couple years ago and received a new one as a replacement. It was factory seam sealed and it was an outstanding job.

Unless something has changed, their seam sealers come in at night to perform the work as to not interfere with production. I’m going to guess that a person who seam seals tents all night is much better at that task than me.

My Cimmaron was factory sealed. Stellar job. I’ve slept in a bunch of different tents and nothing has compared to how waterproof SEAK tents are. I slept in an Eolus for 7 days of rain in Alaska and it was bone dry. The other guys on the trip both ended up with water in the tent.

I've had an LBO that they seem sealed, it worked really well. I then seam sealed a DST on my own and will now pay the fee to have the manufacturer do it everytime.
