    I bet many will agree....

    I've got several flys in sil, one in cuben and one in SpinnUL.....to me SpinnUL is the way to go...I'll be carrying cuben on the next big hike coming up soon and Sho-me will be carrying the SpinnUL.
    Do I need doors? well I've lived well without them in some serious crap weather, that said I did well in horizontal rain at Albert Mountain with a stock fly from Hennessey with only one damp spot but I did have everything cinched down tight and low low low to the ground.
    Doors are a luxury but with Spinn its not such a weight penalty...it's just a nice option for when you maybe cannot use the terrain to your advantage or when the winds do a serious shift in the night and are coming in so strong that they whip around the tree and pound either your head or foot end.

    So the race is on....Warbonnetguy has his design but no Spinn; OES has the Spinn but not the design....may the best man win! and if it helps spur either of you manufacturers on in the quest I'll offer a $50 bonus to the winner---assuming the economy doesn't bottom out between now and then

    Doug,

    I am hurt.

    Remember that time you thought I was going to forget the half and half, but I didn't and you said you were really proud of me?
    I have heard your confession I know who you blame
    If you had it all back you'd just lose it again
    Can't bank on redemption if you ain't saved
    Don't bring me your tales of temptation and loss
    Don't bring me the pieces of your shattered cross

    -- Stuart Adamson

    I was going to buy another OES 8x10, but this time in Spinn. Now I'll have to wait to see what Brian's new designs will be . Been saving for it.
