Anyone got any updates on the spinn? Really wanting to order a tarp!!
What specifically do you want to know? Several manufacturers make Spinn tarps of high quality.
yea but either sold out or defects from manufacturer
defected spinn i mean
Warbonnet appears to have Spinn 'Edge' tarps in stock. OES lists Spinn available in all sizes. And JRB has new Spinn Hexes.
Stock information
Please be aware that I am currently experiencing a supply issue for all SpinnUL products. Please email or contact me prior to placing an order for a SpinnUL tarp to inquire about availability.
Thank you again for your patience and your interest in ordering my tarps!
Keep in mind that I currently have many different silnylon tarps in stock and ready for immediate shipment

Yeah, Brian has been having a rough go getting Spinn that lives up to his standards. I'm also sure the stuff at Warbonnet faces similar standards. Not sure if it's the remainder of a earlier ordered roll, or if it's another supplier all-together that Warbonnet is using. Whatever the case, both guys know their stuff and aren't going to sell sub-par materials. I kinda like that, even when it is inconvenient.
The Edge is a nice sized tarp and certainly worth a look. I'm just thankful I got my MacCat Micro in Spinn before the shortage. Rumor is, I got the last one. :woot:

Yes, a bit of a bummer with spinn supply right now. I had ordered a 12x10 spinn from Brian before he posted about the shortage. Had to go for a Sil. Still, a beautiful tarp, and only a couple ounces heavier. Good coverage for my bridge.
This is my first post on this forum; great info all around. It's really helped me figure this whole hammocking thing out. Anyway, thought I'd share this email from Brain at OES in regards to SpinnUL (I inquired about a MaCat Standard in Spinn):
The situation doesn't sound too good. I decided to order a Warbonnet Edge in Spinn instead.Quote:
I received my new supply of SpinnUL fabric from my supplier a few weeks ago after two previous attempts at getting the fabric coating correct, and unfortunately it is not nearly waterproof to my standards to include in a tarp (less than 20% of the waterproof head that it used to have). This is an issue that has been arising during the past six months and due to the fact that the entire outdoor industry relies on a single manufacturer for this fabric, I don't have a present workaround for it and am afraid the industry will lose an option for a lighter weight fabric. As you may be aware, Thru-Hiker.com had stopped carrying it as of last October due to quality and waterproofness concerns, and I am afraid I will have to do the same unless something new comes up from the manufacturer.
I can however have a silnylon version shipped out to you in the very near future, or I may also have a cuben fiber model available in the near future if you are interested in hearing about some of the details.
If you have any other questions, comments or concerns, don't hesitate to email me at this address and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Yeah, get it while you can from the sound of it.
Shame too, I'm a big fan of Spinn. :(
I am glad to know that some folks do not compromize on the quaility of the materials they use. Hope the QC issue gets resolved.
I, too, was sad to hear about the change in spintex waterproofness. I even bought a 20yd roll to test that I am just storing for the time being....not sure what I will do with it. That is also why, with so many great options available in silnylon, I am just going straight to CF3 material. It is kind of fun to work with and I KNOW that stuff is water proof. :D.
