    Cuben Fiber Tarp for RidgeRunner?

    Which Cuben Fiber tarp works well for the Ridgerunner?

    I like high tarps and porch-mode whenever possible, and don't care for doors even if they might be of use sometimes.

    I don't want to blow cash, but shaving a pound off my pack seems compelling.

    I don't think "budget-conscious" and "cuben fiber" go very well together.

    You can shave a little of the cost off if you are willing to make the tarp yourself. Otherwise, your best bet is likely to keep an eye on the for sale forums and craigs list. I personally found a bunch of cuben, un-used, on craigslist for a great price, but I don't think you can depend on it.

    I wouldn't bother trying to get a good deal on these forums. Recently a cuben tarp sold for 95% of original price and it was 1 year old. I guess that would be considered a good deal to someone.

    What I'm most interested in is knowing which Cuben Fiber Tarps work with the size of the Ridgerunner.

    I created a diversion by talking about getting a deal too. Let's ignore that.

    Give adam at HG a call and he will hook you up with a tarp that has the pullouts spaced appropriately for the spreader bars.
