All I want is perfection. Why is that so hard? I'm leaning toward a gatewood cape, but my current setup uses silnylon and I'm not a big fan. It stretches when it gets wet, so throughout the night your shelter is gently collapsing. Also, I decided long ago that if I ever got a new poncho tarp, I would want a catenary cut model to really maximize the tautness. What can I say? I like them tight like a drum. And finally, if at all possible, I would like a shaped configuration instead of a flat tarp. Everybody says the flat tarps are more flexible, and they are, but when it is coming down hard, all I care about is escaping the wet and wind from all directions.
So in short, I want a cat cut spinnaker poncho tarp that is shaped to provide excellent protection.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help!
Oh yeah, did I mention that I want it light as well? ;)
