Is cuben too light/non-durable for your project? Or too expensive?
There's all sorts of variants of cuben. If you're looking for something more durable than the commonly used cuban, check out the 1.0oz, 1.2oz and 1.4oz cuben variants. They all use double thick mylar layers and the latter two versions have way more spectra too.
1.4oz cuben weighs the same as silnylon, but it's far stronger.
Other options would be pure plastics (ie. painters cloths) or theoretically someone could make a 10D or 15D silnylon (as opposed to 30D) but it would likely still wind up at 1.1 to 1.2oz (vs. 1.4oz) after it's coated.
