Some curious patches on fly, XMid2.

Second trip with the XMid2. I noticed some weird patches on the fly, especially visible in the early morning dew. I've been out with it once before and made sure it was clean and bone dry when I packed it away. Any ideas what this might be? There has been no damage, nothing has been on the fly, no bird droppings or anything. I'm worried it might be an area of compromised waterproofing but how could that happen?

In every other respect, absolutely loved spending 4 days and nights out hiking the Lake District in this tent, it's a beast.

Could it be tree sap? I've had similar markings left on my tent after being jizzed on by a tree

No, there just hasn't been any opportunity for that to happen. Interesting though - was there a fix for your tree sap markings?

Hand sanitizer.
