I found on Ebay a 15D ripstop SilNylon Parcho. It weighs 277g (9.77ounces) on my scales, the seames are taped and it has heavy duty guy rope tie outs made of nilon webbing and brass rings for when you want to use it as a tarp. The best part….it’s only $10US!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s really good!! 2 layers of 1inch Nylon webbing stitched onto double folded Parcho.

second the request for a link, I can’t find anything matching your description.

Also, I thought silnylon can’t be taped?

I’m guessing it is the one advertised as :

I think those folded 1inch nylon webbing parts which have the guy-rope eyelets in them weigh ‘about’ 6 or 7g each (.24ounce) and there is 6 of them. I ‘could’ alter these and make them just as strong but with less weight I reckon. Could drop an other ounce I bet.
