    I'll second Trout's comment on shipping.
    They told me:
    "USPS medium flat rate $10.70, large flat rate $14.50.
    UPS is a little more but there is insurance and a tracking number.
    Roger"

    It arrived on the roll via UPS with a ~$21 shipping charge.
    I was thinking that 15 yards would easily fit in a medium flat rate box for $10.70.
    Still only about $4.35/yard, but would have been $3.75/yd is they took that massive cardboard roll out and used the medium flat rate box.

    Further; I asked if he had any "woodsy" colors, and he said he had Taupe and said it was brown. I got 10 yards, and it's an awesome olive brown. I couldn't get more stealth unless I got this same shade but green. It came to about $4 a yard, and worth every penny. I'll probably be ordering more soon![/QUOTE]


    Raven, I like to see a picture of that Taupe color if you could! As for the shipping on roll, did you ask them if they could ship off the roll as mentioned in earlier posts. They sent me 25 yds off the roll but I had to ask. He even said they only wold do it if requested.

    I'll see what I can do. I regret not getting more than 10 yards, as they've not had it again since...and I find nothing wrong with it.

    I do not see Sil Nylon on their website so what exactly are you asking for when ordering?
    1.3 oz. Nylon ripstop, 30 denier, silicone coated 2nds?
    I've not ordered from this source but sounds like a great deal.

    Just call and ask for Silnylon. They are very familiar with their stock, and will tell you what they have.

    Minimum of 10 yards, and ask for it to be folded to save on shipping. They are really easy to work with.

    Just got my order of 20 yards of gray, and when I went to pick it up, the lady came out with a box 7" cubed! I was surprised, but weighed it when I got home, and it's right.

    I just ordered 10 yards of Orange, and 10 yards of Royal blue.

    I prefer woodsy when I'm backpacking, but prefer to be very noticable when car camping.
