CUBEN FIBER
WT/SQ YD= .33 oz and .48 oz.   This is the lightest wt. outdoor fabric we have ever seen.  It is 50% lighter than Kevlar, four times more durable than Kevlar and lasts as long as Spectra and remarkable weighs less than 1/2 oz. per square yard.  It flexes without loosing strength.   Cuben Fiber retains 100% of its original strength after being folded 250 times.  It is not effected by salt water nor does it soak up water.  It has great UV resistance and is extremely water resistant.  Uses: great for extremely lightweight tarps, rain gear, stuff sacks, packcovers.   See "cuben tape"  for a no-sew option on this fabric.

SILNYLON -COATED 1.1 OZ RIPSTOP
 
WT/SQ YD=1.3 oz  100% nylon fabric with a silicone coating.  Extremely lightweight, windproof, tightly woven.  Small reinforcement grids woven into fabric.  Machine washable.  Seams need to be sealed with silicone seam sealer (our item #4026).  Uses: tents, rain gear, stuff sacks, packcovers, lt.wt. tarps.   Wash Code =1     ROLL SIZE = 100 PLUS  YDS  (varies- call)  
DIFFERNCE BETWEEN 1STS AND 2NDS ON SILNYLON:  We sell a hundred yards of 2nds to every 1 yard of 1sts.   Every now and then it may be slightly dirty or there may be a mark in the fabric or there may be an extra amount of silicone in the form of a narrow, whitish streak.  In other words there may be minor cosmetic imperfections but we won't sell any silnylon that we feel is structurally compromised
unless you know about it ahead of time.
NOTE: On silnylon (coated 1.1 oz silicone ripstop) there is no right or wrong side.  Because the silicone is impregnated it is present on both sides of the fabric

Easton Aluminum 7075-79 tent tubing.   It is available in 2 different diameters (.34" and .433"). Black anodized.  18" lengths. Custom make your own tent poles.  Poles can be shortened.  (NOTE: Poles usually require more sections with inserts than sections without inserts-it is best to map it out on paper to determine how many you need of each).  Sections can be shockcorded together using 1/8" shockcord.  Endtips for .34" diameter poles fit into 9/32" grommets (also 5/16" grommets).   Endtips for .433" diameter poles fit into  9/32" grommets (also 5/16"grommets).  Endtip #2 is used when poles are to be shockcorded together.  Endtip #1 is used when poles are not shockcorded together.

Pictured are both tent pole sections: top one is section w/ insert- it has the silver sleeve on the right.  The bottom one is the section without insert-a hollow aluminum tube that slides onto the silver sleeve to connect the two.   When combining 2 or more sections to form a longer pole, using one pole without an insert will give you a hollow end on both the rightside and leftside of  the long pole to insert an endtip.  [NOTE: This picture is the .34" diameter poles.   The outside diameter of these sections are approximately the diameter of a Bic ink pen (greater than a 1/4" and slightly less than 3/8")]. [NOTE: The .433" diameter poles are not pictured but they are similar to the size of a Sharpie felt tip pen].  Poles are now BLACK in color.
