At hundred bucks and 1.3 oz. this really fits. T185 polyester, this does seem like the ideal BP material since my slacks are made of that. This is for sale at campmor and ebay. The owner has responded on forums and seems good for warrantee and integrity. I`ve done some seaching, this one looks good, this link mentions torn grommets, I could put postal tape on my new tent for reinforcement/preventative. tent.
