"So how tight do you think you can actually roll a Cuben tarp?
I have never used the stuff myself.
I only ever saw it once and that was a roll in a chandlers shop.

Please do let me know how it works out if you make a tarp.
I currently use silnylon or cheap plastic tarps."


Pretty tight, I finished the rain coat details today. It s about 2.5 sq yards of .33 oz cuben fiber and it packs up to a small wad a little smaller than my fist. I have small hands, no way it would fit inside that capsule though.

I've found if you slowly put pressure on the folded material it will leak air and collapse down more, unlike the amk heatsheets and mylar blankets. So maybe this material is slightly breathable?

I'll post a picture of the jacket later and show you. If you call cubic tech and ask they will send you samples of the fabric to play with.
