    What is the best UL breathable truely waterproof fabric for a tent. Gortex or somehting else. Its been a while.

    I have an idea for an ultralight tent, and am considering breathable WP material if I can find one light enough.

    Also is cuben 100% waterproof ??

    Probably Event. But I'm not sure about the truly waterproof part. Say Troy, you don't know what a 6.5×47 Lapua is, do you?

    None that I know of are flame retardent.

    Probably grey market Gore Dryloft would be the best
    a lay person could get their hands on. After that
    Epic.

    Joe, I am working on an inherited 25-284 and a 7×57 AI.
