    Spectra and nite ize?

    I replaced my Hennessy Hex tarp suspension with the Nite Ize cord and Figure 9's. I love the visibility of the Nite Ize cord, but it seems heavy.

    Has anyone replaced the cord with Z-pack's Spectra? What about durability?

    Thanks!

    I would use zing it that is what I am about to replace my tarp guy lines with it is cheap light and has pretty good strength and it is fairly durable. You can also get yellow collor and see it in the dark. I like it allot.

    +1 That's what I use for my tarp suspension also. And 1.25 for guylines.
