    I was looking to make a few universal pack pockets (Shoulder or waist) and at first I was looking at Dyneema X, but with there only being one supplier color options are a bit limited. Then I looked at zpacks and saw for a similar price per yard they have the 2 cuben weights listed above. At a quarter of the weight it seems like a nice option, but I am unsure what type of beating they would take. Does anyone have any experience with those 2 weights? Thanks

    Both should provide good puncture resistance, and a very high resistance to tearing/warping. Are you expecting them to endure a lot of abuse?

    I like the size of those hipbelt pockets. They may be the biggest, and about the right size for a full quart size freezer bag.
