Not for $179 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />. I would guess silnylon.
Yeah, for $179, I wonder what fabric they're using... I can't imagine it's silnylon if it only weighs 16 ounces... My guess would be spinnaker cloth, like the Gossamer Gear shelter. It's pricey and lightweight, but not as much as cuben. Still... $179 seems too inexpensive for even spinnaker, but I can't imagine how he managed 16 ounces using sil nylon.
