[Hiker97 at aol.com]

Go over to _www.questoutfitters.com/Lightweight.htm_ 
(http://www.questoutfitters.com/Lightweight.htm)  and  read about this interesting material for Ultra 
Light gear.  QuestOutfitters  site says the following:
 
"This is the lightest wt. outdoor fabric we have ever seen.  It is 50%  
lighter than Kevlar, four times more durable than Kevlar and lasts as long as  
Spectra and remarkable weighs less than 1/2 oz. per square yard.  It flexes  
without loosing strength.   Cuben Fiber retains 100% of its original  strength 
after being folded 250 times.  It is not effected by salt water  nor does it soak 
up water.  It has great UV resistance and is extremely  water resistant.  
Uses:  great for extremely lightweight tarps, rain gear, stuff sacks,  packcovers."
 
I need my Seedhouse SL tent rainfly to be made of this material!!!   This is 
too cool.
