brian Veteran Registered: 07/28/04 Posts: 1468 Loc: Texas	I'll check when I get home to see if it's marked on the label. I have one that is still in its original packaging. I can tell you its nowhere neare the 2.5mil on the coghlan's tube tent. It feels more like a thick trash bag. _________________________ Learn to improvise everything.
