Ultralight version of Thunderfly

[infrastellar]

Havent post here for a while. But still constructing few tarps a year with my favorite bonded reinforcements

I made an ultralight version of Thunderfly. Used dutchware xenon .9
It is a bit less than 12ft, it covers even my ridgerunner nicely. For sure not for storms, but It will do rain.
Skipped the panel pullouts, made catenary curves, and still did not come under 300grams. It has 330 grams, and it is pretty small.



The tarp covers the hammock nicely on this side, but on the other side is less. Small bit of the amsteel triangle is outside of the tarp.

Very nicely done! Your work looks high quality.

It looks perfect, nice job! 330 grams is very lightweight. Does that weight include the cordage and stakes? My ripstopbytheroll summer hex tarp with cordage, stakes, and stuff sack weighs 457 grams and that uses membrane fabric. How did you attach the panel pull reinforcement? With silicone adhesive?

[infrastellar]

Membrane silpoly from ripstopbytheroll and dutchware xenon .9 is the same fabric

I guess you mean tieouts on this tarp. Those are glued with silicone.
The weight is just a tarp in stuffsack.

Man this tarp looks slick dude!!! 330 is pretty solid...get some solid dreams under that bad boy!!!

Also looks like a beaut of a place to hang...

That is a nice looking tarp. Is the ridgeline bonded as well?

[infrastellar]

No, tye ridgeline is sewn with 2 lines of stitches, double rolled hem style. Easiest you can think of.

This is one of the times I wish we had a "like" button on this site. I really like that tarp. Really well done, and the final weight is outstanding.
