For the weight, this fabric seems dang near waterproof; much higher rating than anything else I can find. Anyone see this on Dutch's new site or work with it yet?

Just saw it go up on the new site yesterday. Sounds very impressive.
With the new site and products I'm sure the crew is quite backlogged right now. I bet well get more info on it soon.
This is a really nice fabric to work with. No stretch. It's such a solid feeling fabric. Very slippery like all of them. Just finished up a 13' hex tarp for a customer. Seals with silicone based sealants.
Only wish would be it came in more colors.
I heard this was coming out been waiting to make myself a hex tarp with it, i will also do a hydrostatic test on it also.

I just saw this, and am actually really interested in what others find.
Really considering this for a winter tarp.
It's very solid. If your comparing sewing it to other sil fabrics it's easy. Slippery like others but easy to hem with zip for stretch. It's slightly heavier but it completes his line-up. A lighter sub 1.0 oz, 1.1 and now 1.3 ish. I will be using it for a tarp floor project in the near future for a customer. Dark olive is the exact same as the dark olive in the other hexon.
It looks interesting. In the market for a tarp, so this is a definite possibility.
