I have some gray 1.1 gray silpoly and some black .93 membrane silpoly from RBTR to make a bivy. I haven’t worked with silpoly before and I can’t tell if there is a “in“ and “out“ to the material. Does anyone know if there is, and if so, how to tell? Or whether it just doesn’t matter?

I was hoping to make the bivy this weekend but forgot to call RBTR in time.

Thanks!

The Membrane is not sided. The standard 1.1 is not sided. If you bought the XL it looks different on one side, but they are functionally equivalent.

RBTR has a support site that may have answers to other questions you might have.
