The extra stretch of nylon adds to its strength though, in that it acts as a built-in shock absorber during a heavy wind gust, so with poly stretching less in that situation, in theory, the nylon tarp would have a lower wind load due to extra stretch. Poly still stretches some, just not as much as nylon.
Poly will stretch less (when soaked or otherwise) and it will absorb less water weight. In general, nylon has a higher tear and tensile(breaking) strength than the same weight polyester simply because nylon is all-around stronger pound for pound than polyester is. The 30D Silnylon is slightly more durable than the 20D Silpoly. Both fabrics have a minimum 2000mm hydrostatic head waterproof rating.īe sure to check out the extra options and modifications available in our Custom Tarp Builder section. Both are good options and weights are similar for each. The Polyester fabric is more stretch resistant and has lower water absorption, while the Nylon is a stronger more durable fabric. We are currently offering these backpacking tarps in both Polyester and Nylon options (camo print available in Polyester ONLY).
Unlike the MJ and Superfly, it features straight-cut sides (the ridge seam still has the same very slight curve cut). The CB is an 11’x10′ rectangle specially designed as a solid 3-season tarp for the Ridgerunner hammock, it’s panel pulls are spaced farther apart and lower to correspond to the spreader bars of the RR. The Cloudburst is a large, all-around 3-season backpacking tarp that can be paired with any of our hammock models. We recommend signing up for a couple of different color choices to ensure faster notification. If every color within a variation is out of stock, then the box may not appear and you’d have to check back, but using the email notice is the best option if you are able. If you make a complete selection of an out-of-stock item, checking all boxes including color, suspension, etc, you should see a blue box down below the add-to-cart button that allows you to enter an email address for an email notification when that color/model is added back to inventory.
