    Black or Brown Cuben???

    I would like to buy a cuben tarp but all I see are gray and light green colors which is a deal breaker for me.

    The ideal color choice would be dark brown or darker camo.

    Does anyone have any information on a manufacturer?

    Thanks

    I don't think you can get saturated colors or dark prints with cuben material. I bought some "black", and it's a translucent light gray. The camo that Stormcrow uses looks nice to me, but it's not dark at all. Your deal is still broken; reconsider what you need.

    I know that Hammockgear offers a RealTree type brown camouflage cuben on his tarps. You can see a picture of it here : https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ad.php?t=84574
    And Hyperlightmountaingear does have cuben in black, but its CF11, a bit heavier cuben than whats used on tarps.

    Vanguard had a Hammock Gear camo one set up last weekend in FL, looked really good and blended in well. And great weight as well.

    I'm just not sure about the durability of them.

    I think as a tarp cuben should do well..but it all depends on who's piecing it together.
