Kammok Sunda 2.0 Tent
Avoid or contact brand directly; waterproof tent coating PFAS status remains undisclosed.
The Sunda 2.0 uses polyester with a standard water-repellent finish typical of outdoor gear. Kammok/Hammock Gear has not disclosed whether their water-repellent coating contains PFAS or alternatives.

What Kammok Sunda 2.0 Tent is made of, ingredients and materials
The Sunda 2.0 uses polyester fabric with a water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) finish. water-repellent coating treatments historically relied on PFAS-based fluorochemicals to repel water; Kammok has not publicly disclosed whether this tent uses legacy PFAS or newer alternatives. Polyester itself is stable and does not leach monomers under normal camping conditions, but the coating chemistry is the primary exposure vector for this product.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
water-repellent coating degradation and environmental release
Polyester water-repellent coating coatings wear down through UV exposure, abrasion, and washing. No public data on whether Kammok's coating sheds microparticles or leachables into soil/water; if PFAS-based, deterioration increases bioaccumulation risk over the tent's lifespan.
VOC off-gassing from new tent
Fresh polyester fabrics and coatings may emit volatile organic compounds (adhesives, solvents) for hours to days after purchase. Airing out the tent in sunlight before first use and storing in ventilated conditions reduces exposure.
What’s reassuring
Formaldehyde / VOCs
No recalls or documented incidents for Kammok tents. Polyester production typically avoids formaldehyde resins, and outdoor gear meets loose US and EU dye standards. Risk is low but unverified for this specific batch.
Source, ATSDR ↗Flame retardants
Camping tents are not regulated as consumer sleepwear or upholstered furniture and rarely carry intentional flame retardant treatments. No evidence Kammok uses them, but composition transparency would confirm.
Source, EPA ↗Heavy metals
Polyester textiles can carry trace cadmium or lead in colorants if suppliers are unvetted. Kammok does not disclose supplier audits or dye chemistry; risk is general to the industry, not specific to this brand.

The brand's record and disclosure
Kammok (under parent Hammock Gear) does not publish detailed material safety data sheets, ingredient lists, or formal PFAS policy on its consumer-facing site. No established recalls, OEKO-TEX certification, or third-party testing claims are on record for this model. The silence on water-repellent coating chemistry is typical for the outdoor gear industry but represents a disclosure gap that complicates informed comparison.
How it compares in its category
Most mainstream camping tents (REI Co-op, Big Agnes, MSR) similarly use polyester with untransparent water-repellent coating treatments; a few brands (Nemo) have begun disclosing fluorine-free coatings. The Sunda 2.0 is mid-market and offers no competitive transparency advantage. If PFAS avoidance is a priority, brands explicitly marketing Teflon-type coating-free or silicone-based water repellency would present lower concern.
If you buy it
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to slow coating degradation. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents; hand clean with mild soap and water. Avoid exposing the tent to high heat or direct flame. Re-apply water-repellent coating treatment every 1-3 seasons depending on use; when the coating no longer beads water reliably, consider a new tent rather than chemical re-treatment.
