I wonder if anyone has used any of the 0.75 ounce sailcloth varieties from kitebuilder.com for backpacking gear?
They have several 0.75 ounce ripstop nylon sailcloths (Challenge, North, and Bainbridge, at least), in a wide variety of colors. All the 0.75 ounce ripstops are described as "impregnated", and the prices are very good, typically $7.75/60" wide yard, US$.
I'm interested in hearing from people who have used these sailcloths for gear. If the consensus isn't negative, I'll get some and report my results.
Thanks!
