You don't need a defence, the Blackbird is the best hammock out there by far

I apologise Chis, just try and block it out like a bad memory.

In time, it fades......til someone else says it and the nightmare begins again

Its seriously dangerous to the bank balance if you like Tarps.

Oops , but it still sounds like it should either be the constituent of a cigar or a pulp fiction Latino Detective .

Serious hike up from sil on the Trailstar

Sorry Drew I have no idea what you're talking about

Pete, you made me laugh last time we were out, you actually managed to avoid making eye contact with my cuben loveliness for a whole 24hours before buckling. 184g, that's all I'm going to say

Serious hike up from sil on the Trailstar

And the cuben version is a load of pants, there's one poor guy who can't sell one on OM because they've had such a slating. Ron always said cuben would never work on the Trailstar, god only knows why he gave in and made them.

I'm guessing that its material properties don't suit, but for the otherwise 'cuben uninitiated' like my self ~ what makes it suitable for tarps but not a tarp-tent like the Trailstar?

(just edited your post instead of hitting reply, sorry about that)

I've just checked and somebody's bought it tonight, oh dear


The problem is there's zero stretch with cuben, the Trailstar needs plenty to get a good pitch with the long sides and single pole. You'd do just as well with a £5 woven pvc tarp from a builders yard. The cuben Solomid and Duomid work a lot better but I don't think they're a sturdy as the Trailstar.

No worries

I thought it'd likely be along those lines, thanks for the confirmation . So Cuben Fibre's lack of stretch is a boon in wet weather




Sorry for the slight derail Drew, but at least it's a relevant derailment (the downside being it might cost you some additional mullah! )

Yeah it works great over my hammock

Don't tell Drew though
