Cuben Fiber

[Violent Green]

ZPacks uses 1.0 oz/sqyd for their dry bags. They're sewn AND taped. Seem pretty waterproof in my experience (but not all that lighter than an ultrasil Sea to Summit bag).

Yeah, I'm aware of Zpacks construction techniques. I've had two of their drybags and neither were waterproof.

At least one HF member has tried, and the hammock ripped in half. Not at a seem, but in the middle of the piece of cuben.

That would be Sgt. Rocks .. It spilt due to the abrasions of sleeping in it. This is me in it. image.jpg

The Zpacks is a good example. They sew their bags and they're not waterproof.Ryan

This is simply not accurate.

I made one and it was really uncomfortable. It has no give at all and was like sleeping on a boar, plus CF is too narrow. Lastly when I took it apart it was tearing at the whipping.

The two Zpacks dry bags in my gear closet say otherwise, but thanks for playing.
