Simply Light Designs - Winter Haven Silpoly

[turbominivan]

Does anyone happen to own the Simply Light Designs Winter Haven in silpoly? I'm not familiar with silpoly but have read some very promising posts regarding this new-ish tarp option. In particular, I'm interested in the total weight of the SLD Winter Haven in silpoly and the packed size of this tarp in its stuff sack. Not a lot of specific information is provided on the SLD website and it appears that most of the weight specifications are for the silnylon versions.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Give Jared a ping. Maybe he weighed one once before he shipped it.

In the event that anyone is interested, I contacted Jared from SLD to ask about weight differences between the Winter Haven in Silnylon vs. Silpoly. He responded quickly to let me know that the Silpoly is slightly lighter but less durable. He indicated that the weight difference is about 3-4 ounces between the two tarps. He also mentioned that there really isn't any difference in water resistance between the two materials; both are rated about the same.
