My dark favorite is the Olive Drab. Light is the Royal Blue. Not that anyone cares, but just saying . Also, I've tweaked the process just slightly to make the fabric less stiff, which means it will pack down even smaller now.

This is really a serious ultralight shelter fabric. To my knowledge, MEMBRANE silpoly is the lightest, most waterproof, lowest stretch tarp/shelter material outside of cuben fiber, which is pretty awesome.

For those interested, check out some of the testing and buzz over at BPL:

Please make something awesome and send me epic pics of your gear out in the field. Thanks and have a great day.

Dang it, I was really hoping for olivier yellow

I'll have some pics of my MEMBRANE tarp for you in a week or two or 15, whenever I get around to finishing it. It's mostly done, but I can't motivate myself to make the MEMBRANE bias tape that I decided to make in order to finish the edges instead of hemming them.

Then it's on to the HEX70 pack.
