[pct-l] Spintex .97 vs. Silnylon 1.35

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

I have a spinnaker tent and a silnylon tent and I like the spinnaker  
better. It is less saggy. It might flap more loudly in wind, but  
after a while it does get softer and less noisy.

Personally I would choose the largest bug shelter possible. There  
were plenty of nights and evenings where it was too hot to use my  
sleeping bag as lower body protection. I needed to be able to lay out  
without long pants or insulation on to cool off, or some nights I  
needed to stick a foot or arm out to not get overheated. I am female,  
though, and women are known to prefer large bug shelters.
