Silpoly vs dyneema tarp recs
Hi everyone!
Quick disclaimer that I’m not a pure ultralighter. I carry light gear so I can justify a whole fruitcake.
That said, I love this group and am keen to hear advice from everyone!
I hike and bikepacking often and am in the market for a new tarp that will be versatile for longer adventures. I’m sick of my current floppy, heavy nilon tarp. I’m interested in thoughts on silpoly vs dyneema (whether the weight difference is worth the cost), and also if anyone has thoughts on toughness/longevity of either product. I’m looking at 3mx3m roughly.
Also if you have recs on where to buy/ best value options.
Thanks!
