    Tarp material

    I'm going through our gear getting ready for a trip in a few weeks and I've got a question about a tarp. I've got a HH hex tarp but I'm not sure if it's the 30D Silnylon or 70D Poly. I don't guess it really matters I was just curious which one I've got. I've had it a few years and can't remember what I bought when I bought it. I think it's a Poly just by comparing it to my WB MJ and SF. It looks like ripstop material but it a little thicker, heavier than the other 2.

    Weigh it then check on HH site
    70D is pu coated,so one side smooth (coated) and other is natural cloth, Silnylon is th same both sides.

    From what I have seen so far, Silnylon is slick - in comparison, PU coated nylon or polyester feels sticky.
