[pct-l] Water Resistant nylon for tents

[giniajim]

Check the tarptent web site.  I seem to recall that Henry has some words on 
there that discuss the difference between the two fabrics as it pertains to 
rain.  I don't want to try to recreate his descriptions, but I remember that 
it influenced me to order the Sublite Sil rather than the Sublite.
