    My HG 4S Cuben Fiber tarp doesn't impress anybody who doesn't hike. The usual response is "That cost $300? It looks like a big plastic garbage sack."

    Or "You spent $300 on that? Are you okay - are you off your meds? Did you contact the BBB? I think you got ripped off."

    Cuben is just plain goodness! I've been eyeing up the cuben tarps for some time now, unbelievable weight to coverage ratio. Unfortunately, all this talk of the warbonnet bridge being just over the horizon has me furiously trying to save a few bucks.

    I think there will be cuben in my future though...and yes, I will embrace the naysayers and my big see thru garbage bag!
