Ordered a Cuben 4 season tarp, I hope it gets here soon! This'll cut ~11 oz from my pack and add doors to my setup, win win (other than my also lighter wallet).

I think this UL thing is a decease which I hope I never catch as one of the known side effects is EmptyPocketsSyndrome However 11oz savings is pretty good.
The older I get the better I used to be. Superhero status is near.
I agree, cuben is dang near irresistible once you've handled it a couple of times. In my mind, I poo-pooed it a couple of years back. Been a very long time since I was that wrong...well, unless you ask my girlfriend.
Trust nobody!
having used C for 4 or so years from every thing from a gathered Hammock , a bridge, Ham., sacks, packs, water carriers, air conditioners, lite wgt TVs (OK so I lied about the last 2!! ) I don't think I have exhausted the possibilities yet!#$^%$^& ,, so-- I have spent my children's inheritance, so what? let them get their own hammock!! gnome
I scratched the same itch a week or two ago, still waiting for the selling, errr... "swelling" to go down.
That weight savings was just too attractive.

what makes a tarp 4 season rather then 3 season. i never figured that out as all of mine have been to single digits.

Enjoy it. I know that it's just a matter of time for me. The only thing slowing me down is that I now have a spinn tarp so the weight savings isn't as great compared to going from a silnylon tarp.

Longevity.
I've got one cuben tarp that has now seen many more nights than one in SpinnUL which is no longer available I've read. So far and this is roughly a total of 50 nights on this cuben tarp all is well wheras in my spinnUL I found spontaneous holes where I knew of no traumatic event and far less useage.
So this to say that just maybe cuben will stand the test of time which should be a good thing for those on the fence over the added expense.
