I need a new 12 ft ridgeline tarp and making up my mind has been tough. I want something with doors. A poly-sil is nice and the price is right. I especially like that you can compactly stuff it in a sack. Cuben fiber is calling me though - its so light. I don't like the noisyness and the fact that it transmits so much light and doesn't roll up compactly.

I'm "man enough" to carry the poly but do I really want to? I can afford the cuben but do I really want to spend that much to save some ounces and have to put up with quirks?

For anyone who has owned both please give me your thoughts - this is more important than corona virus!
