Material?

Where is a good source for Ripstop nylon, silnylon and spinn UL?

[Cannibal]

Only place I know to get the Spinn is from Thru-hiker. However, "Spinn UL" is what Brian (OES) uses and thru-hiker sells "Spinn EXP". The two are different in appearance. Brian's is a lighter color grey while thru-hiker's is a bit darker. They both seem to preform the same, but I assume they came from different shops, or at least different batches.

Sil ($3.00/yd 2nds) - Noah Lamport (you have to call)

Also, Quest Outfitters is great.

Have you ordered their silnylon before?

As in what colors do they have & how is the quality?

Have you ordered their silnylon before?

Yes. I found no reason to call it 2nds. It's 64" wide, great stuff.

I don't know about colors, sorry. The sales rep told me on the phone but I was only interested in the gray so the rest I tuned out.

After shipping it worked out to just under $4.00/yd, but the shipping might have been high on my piece because it was still on the heavy cardboard roll.

There is a $5.00 cut fee so if you can get the end of a roll you'll save that much.

This place has camo fabric.. http://www.rockywoods.com/, may be too heavy for your application though..

I emailed Noah Lamport last week and got a very short email back....


"Navy, purple, jade green, flour. Orange in stock" Along with an attachment that listed the prices sclittlefield mentioned but they also showed a bulk discount if you bought hundereds of yards, or even better price if you buy close to a thousand yards at a time.

I wonder what "flour" looks like... would it be an off white?

[pgibson]

That was my guess. But they did not offer any further infromation, very little information available on their web site.
