I just purchased a Contrail Tarptent. The seam were already sealed when I received the tent. But should I spray a waterproofing protector on the tent? It's made of sil nylon.
What about my backpack? Should that get sprayed too?

Not necessary imho.
BUT, whatever you do, do NOT use a fluorocarbon DWR on the silnylon! They are not compatible.
If you must, use a silicone spray.
Cheers
I would echo the above — not necessary.
