I'm planning to sew a 6-sided pyramid shelter. My original plans were to use the standard 30D silnylon (SN). However, browsing through some recent threads has turned me onto the silpoly (SP) offered at Ripstop by the Roll.
Reading specs and user results from the 2nd generation, it seems that SP is all-around better option than SN. SP has Very little stretch, HH is on par with other common SN, very similar weight, easier to sew.
This would result in a very tight pitch (I'm considering very slight catenary curves to keep things taught) and more headroom because there would be little sagging when wet, and little stretch when pitching.
Other than the fact that I can't get SP in purple, why would I chose SilNylon? What are the downsides of SilPoly?
