Yeah. I chose silnylon over cuben. Due to the shelter is intended as my hotel room every night as i travel the world. The nylon absorbs some of the swamp factor inside the tent and creates two separate environments; one inside the tent and one outside. It feels more like sleeping inside then cowboy camping.
It couldn’t have a slopped ridge because I need more space inside the tent for condensation to cloud up and collect on the tarp. It also couldn’t have too many poles. It needed to weigh 1 pound, but also give a lot of protection from the elements; rain, mud, wind, cold, bugs, and animals. Its 7’x40″. Silnylon also doesn’t stay as wet as polycro materials, but doesn’t breath too much like cuben and tyvek.
Im planning on visiting places like Iceland, Ibiza and the Sahara; Mexico, Brazil, Argentina. Anywhere.
I made a free map of places to go http://www.pointlesstraveler.com/map.html
I hope that answers it. I experimented with different tarps and found the more condensation there was the more comfortable I slept. So that caused me to turn away fron highly breathable materials amd use nylon.
