    WB Superfly and UGQ Winter Dream

    These two tarps seem almost identical. I was looking at the Winter Dream Silpoly because from what I understand that material may be better when wet than silnylon. If I'm wrong on that, let me know.
    What I would like to know specifically, does the Winter Dream have snaps on the doors to keep them closed? I saw a picture somewhere and it looked like it did but I couldn't tell. The material and the snaps are the deciding factor between the WB Superfly and the Winter Dream. I know the WD is a little heavier and more expensive (the silpoly version) but thats ok.
    Doesn't seem like you can go wrong with either tarp. I just can't find many videos on the WD.

    Thanks

    And, as great as the SF is, you get to choose cool colors when you order a WD!

    Still does allowing you to snap doors closed which is a nice feature.

    Silpoly is naturally hydrophobic, meaning the polyester fabric actually repels water, add a sil coating and it performs very well. Couple of draw backs with silnylon are the stretch both when dry or wet, stretching even more when wet/cold. Silnylon also has a tendency to absorb water making the tarp much heavier when wet and packed no matter how much you shake it off. Silpoly is very low stretch and I have yet to have to pack a wetted tarp, quick shake and the water is almost completely gone.
