Xenon Sil

Would love to know more about this.

I guess its safe to assume this is a 10d or 15d silicone coated ripstop nylon?

I ordered a couple yards to check out last week as part of a larger Argon 67 order and it just arrived. I'd be happy to send off a sample for testing.

There's a thread on Hammock Forums about it that's light on details. I wonder if it's silpoly since it's advertised as low stretch?

I contacted Richard Nisely about sending a sample to hike for testing. He said he'd be available to test a fabric after 9/15. You should message him or send me a sample and I will forward it his way.

Thanks, I pm'd him too after last post with offer to send a sample.

Is this pretty similar to their older Argon Sil? If I remember, that was quoted as having a bit higher HH (something like 1600), but Nilsey etc tested it esp with age tests it was quickly below the critical 1200 (I think its 1200) mark.

But 1000mm, if thats longer term HH is probably fine most of the time. I'd happily use that. The odd smidge of misting doesn't bother me
