    WTB Spinnaker or Cuben ground sheet

    Looking for a piece of spinnaker or cuben cloth 3 feet wide and 8 feet long to bus used as a ground sheet. Seconds material is perfectly fine.

    Cuben isn't noted for abrasion resistance. I don't know about Spinn, but it's probably not wonderful either. Suggest you try Tyvek.

    yeah i would look into Tyvek

    Spinn and cuben are not the best when it comes to abrasion resistance
    hate to see ya spend the money on one or the other...and it rip the first time you use it
    It puts the Underquilt on it's hammock ... It does this whenever it gets cold

    ++ on the gossamergear spinn ground sheet. I have one that has given faithful service the last 3 years.

    I suppose that if they intended to drop the offering altogether that they'd remove the web page...

    are you looking for lightest, or dry-est(against ground dampness)? or something else?
    a good trash bag -cut open- might serve, and be cheaper to replace if damaged.

    Looking for lightest. The GG spinn groundsheets have been used for years now, and done ok. I've got a piece of Tyvek, but I can go lighter with the spinn or cuben.
