Does anyone have any experience with tarps made of this material?  I think it used to be referred to as "Cuben Fiber."  Now they're calling it Dyneema Composite Fabric.  It's lighter than even the 1.9 oz silicone that you would find in a CCS tarp.  On the other hand, it's far more expensive.  For example, an 8.5' X 10' tarp (7.4 oz) costs $275.  The comparable CCS tarp is 8' X 10' (14 oz) and only costs $145.

I ask because a friend of mine has inquired if I had experience with it.  Frankly, I had never even heard of the stuff before.  Does anyone on QJ know much about it?

At more than twice the price of a good CCS tarp, I'm doubting there would be many takers for saving that 6.6 oz but I figured I'd check.  We DO have some QJers who are into ultra-ultra light camping. 

I, of course, would NEVER touch the stuff.  It might ruin my reputation for packing only the HEAVIEST version of everything....

Anyhow, I'd welcome any feedback.
