English term or phrase: anti-wicking thread
Coated polyester fabric combined with anti-wicking thread, webbing and zippers are designed to keep you dry.

Dit is de beschrijving van een tent. Gaat het hier om draad dat ervoor zorgt dat het water afvloeit?

waterafstotend draad


Explanation:
Op de site hieronder is 'anti-wicking' gedefinieerd als 'water repellant', dus waterafstotend.

Op de tweede site is 'waterdicht' gebruikt.

Kun je hier iets mee?

Explanation:
Het woord bestaat nog niet, maar dit zou ik ervan maken.

Wicking is insijpeling, de draad zorgt ervoor dat het water kan weglopen, waardoor insijpelen of doorlekken wordt voorkomen.

insijpelen is een beetje een vreemd woord. bij een tentdoek lijkt doorlekken toepasselijker
