I have 2 MSR Hubba tents that have seen a lot of use. One is the OG Hubba and the other is the newer Hubba NX. The OG has some patches on the fly, some holes in the mesh, and the flooring lamination (sil coating?) is flaking off. The newer one has the seam sealant starting to flake off. Of course I'd like to recoup some $ and sell them, or donate (lots of options, I know). But first I wanted to check if wear like this, particularly for the older one, is beyond refurbishment, and if there are ways to recycle them. Maybe I or someone else could use the material? They are/were really great tents and I've stood by them for like....20 years cumulatively, and the current versions are pretty pricey. If a refurbishing wasn't too much, I might go that route and keep them.

My first backpacking tent was a lightly used Mountain Hardwear Skyledge2 tent which I didn't use much because of it's weight. So it mostly sat in my attic and when I took it on a short trip a couple years ago the rain fly leaked pretty bad. I sprayed it with waterproof aerosol spray but it didn't work. I plan to use just the tent body with a tarp over it, saves me a pound or so too. I like the main body as it spacious and mostly screen and I like that it has a door on each side and is free standing.

It is well known that Rick Bowers found a tent one time and restored it.
