Companion forum thread to: Episode 127 | Field Notes – Shelter Fabrics
In episode 127 of the BPL Podcast, Ryan Jordan explores shelter fabrics: strength-to-weight, waterproofing, coatings, pitch stability, storm resilience, strength-to-weight ratios and waterproofing to coating quality, pitch stability, and storm resilience.
I have been more intrigued by Durston’s 15D high tenacity silpoly than any other new fabric on the market. I was skeptical about how durable the 15D would be, but the X-Dome 1+ and 3rd Gen X-Mids are made with it and I’m not hearing about any failures. Dan wrote on another forum that his new 15D high tenacity silpoly is as strong as Slingfin’s 10D sil/sil nylon 66 and it might very well be true. I just wish I could get my hands on some of the Durston 15D silpoly for my own projects.
The only other high quality 10D sil/sil nylon 66 I know of being used is with Nordisk tarps and tents.
