    Any news on the 30d silpoly superflys?

    Was wondering if WB has gotten the fabric in and started production on the second round of tarps using the 30d material like their site says. I'd love a bushwack superfly, but the 20d fabric has me quite hesitant to its durability.

    The 30d is listed on their site now.

    I'm happy with the 20D poly so far...after using the 30D nylon for over 5 years. But I can understand your hesitation for the very slight increase in weight just to be safe. I'm curious to see what they decide to keep as I understand only one will be used eventually.

    Awesome thanks for the update! I assume that the 30D silpoly weighs the same as the 30D silnylon. Order is out!

    Nobody should be scared away by the 20d version of these tarps. I have had mine out on a couple trips since getting it. One in a very rainy, blowing rain, windy night. I had no reservations whatsoever about the durability of the 20d. It preformed admirably.


    Also if anyone is wondering, the evergreen color looks GREAT!

    I dunno, 1oz difference doesn't seem worth risking.

    Yes to the 20D! Yes to the evergreen!

    If/when I decide to upgrade my nylon Superfly, I'll go with the 20D there as well. But if only 30D is available at that time, no big deal.

    Here is a couple pictures of my evergreen superfly from a couple weeks ago.

    The last one is it rolled up on top of my pack, in Warbonnet snakeskins. It packs down pretty small for such a big tarp.
