The big agnes fly and floor is ultralight silicone treated nylon rip-stop with a 1200mm waterproof polyurethane coating. They don't state the denier in the specifications. Hmmm... why wouldn't they?

The well-received Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2 uses lightweight 20-denier nylon for its floor, and Gamber says the Platinum uses even lighter fabric. Just how much lighter he isn't willing to say.


Is this as light/tough as the cuben fiber? Do different fabrics handle sharp objects better?

Is there a page that overviews and compares the performance of current fabric technology?
