Still silnylon?

Cuben and spinntex are not stretchy.

Yes, silnylon. Titanium Goat is expected to offer for sale by the yard a very light (about 0.7 oz/yard) silnylon some time this summer. That will be the lightest stretchy coated fabric available.

Colin,

Thanks for good info!
I'm very interested in it.

Summer... I hope it will be sold early.
