    The strengths at each weight is a nice touch. Would it be possible to add a comparison column for an approximate ripstop nylon weight with a similar strength? This would help people (like me, not that I'm sure I'd ever be willing to pay that much ) determine what weight would be best for their needs.

    comparison column for an approximate ripstop nylon weigh
    I would if I knew where to find it. Maybe someone else might know. I have a feeling that there are a lot more variables for the nylon as if the nylon is calendered or not.

    Of course you can just look at the weight of the Cuben and see that most of it is about half to 3/4' less weight than most nylon.
