MLD – New 2011 Gear

[Tim Cheek]

Would someone comment on the performance differences between these two fabrics in a tent this size?

Will the silnylon stretch more when wet?

Will the cuben fiber be more difficult to keep taut in the wind?

Looking at that other photo I have to agree, it greatly resembles a modified solo mid. From what I understand right now about both systems, it looks like a great hybrid between a hexamid and a solomid.

Cool.

@ Tim. I, too, would be very interested in people's thoughts on the differences in how this new shelter from MLD will work in cuben vs. silnylon. I am a big fan of the Trailstar, which is offered in silnylon only, and am happy to see the evolution into the Solo Trailstar/Cricket. Well done to Ron who keeps pushing the design envelope! Mike

Gravy. Great solo setup Ron's put out here.

It will be interesting to see how or if the SOLO INNERNET will fit into a standard Trailstar since there hasn't been an MLD in-house solution for this yet.

Anyone know how tall Ron is? For size comparisons in his bug nets

[Ron Bell / MLD]

I am 6' 1" , 175 lbs and wear a LG or XLG T Shirt and have 12.5 – 13 feet. Hat size is XL- haha. I am also extremely handsome in the dark.

Thanks,
Ron
