    Weight: Multicam vs. Argon?

    Thinking about pulling the trigger on an Incubator someday. Anyone know the difference in weight between the multicam fabric vs. the Argon?

    I think the new Argon is slightly heavier with the addition of the ripstop grid---but I think that makes it better. IIRC its at .9 oz/yd now

    Epsilon is some badazz stuff.

    I'm using snaps on a project and the toughest part of it is poking holes into the Epsilon for the studs.

    Water resistant, wind resistant, and bomb proof. I love the stuff.

    Thanks guys...I didn't realize the Epsilon material was so tough. Sounds like it is worth the additional weight.
