Hey Folks,
I am thinking of taking the plunge and purchasing Cuben fiber tarps for my wife and I to use with our hammocks. I don't know much about Cuben fiber except that it seems to be incredibly expensive. I am looking at the Winter Palace model by Hammock Gear. The weight savings is big (11oz.) compared to the WB super fly that we currently use. but I have a couple of questions I need help with before I make the leap. Thanks for any help and info.
1. Does anyone have experience with this particular tarp (winter palace) or with Hammock Gear products and how has that experience been?
2. What is the durability of Cuben fiber versus sil nylon?
3. Can I stuff a Cuben fiber tarp into my stuff sack just like I currently do with the sil nylon tarp or does it have to be packed and compressed differently?
Hope these are not dumb questions, I'm just trying to learn!
