    I love a Trail Lair, however I owned a 1.1 ripstop that I hated. Now very happy with 1.0 Hexon. For what it’s worth, also loved a 1.0 Robic Streamliner.

    I was under the impression it was 1.3oz MTN from Ripstop By the Roll. Black was the last color available before they sold out.

    Not to sound snarky, but if you'd asked Jared you'd have your answer by now.

    Sorry, but I can confirm that's not the case. Jared's 1.3 black stuff is just a basic square ripstop, while the MTN 1.3 (or the MTN 1.2 before it) are 4-way ripstops.

    He has also offered the black 1.3 since before MTN 1.3 was released.

    Thanks all for the info and advice. I ended up ordering an 11' TL in Burnt Orange Hexon Wide 1.6 and a black ion windshield. Jared said shipping on material is a bit inconsistent these days (hey, what isn't inconsistent?), so it may take a little longer than the "+1 week ship time", but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. I waffled like crazy on the color, but wanted something that would coordinate (somewhat) with both my summer and winter tarps (WL gray tadpole & HG coyote brown Journey II, respectively).

    How did this Hexon wide 1.6 work out? I had a standard width Hexon 1.6 I sold because I wished it was wider. Is it too wide? I hear that complaint sometimes too!

    There is a bit of extra fabric flopping around. But, that's better than it being too narrow, IMHO. It actually feels wider than my Dutchware netless, which is also wide hexon 1.6. I know someone else mentioned they had the TL made with the wide fabric, but cut down to 64", which puts it right in between the standard and wide Hexon. In hindsight, that's probably what I should have ordered, but I'll live with it as-is until I have reason to purchase another one.
