Re: Pyramid style tarp shelter! Joseph...Spectralite is the term MLD uses for cuben, so it's the same thing. Although some say silnylon is better in rougher or snow load conditions, I continue to go for Ron's Spectralite ... |

Montbell UL Down Inner Parka This is a perfect jacket, but the parka hood made me drop my score from a 5(+) to a 4. At 7.5oz for a Large, it's the lightest jacket I own, by far. Packs up smaller than a softball. Perfect over... |
