Was planning to hem the perimeter of this .75/oz cuben poncho but then asked myself "why". I don't have a ton of experience with cuben but I don't think it's going to fray sans hem. Not doing the hem would save me some sewing time, give me a tiny bit more coverage, and save a minute amount of weight.
I know it would have a more finished look with a hem… and add to the strength should it be used for a tarp…..but it won't be used for a tarp. I would however add small reinforcement patches under the snaps along the sides.
Am I overlooking something?
