>>2075984silnylon is a fine shelter material. silpoly is also good but has it's downsides too, like everything. I think people overhype the downsides of silnylon. My stealth is silnylon and is awesome, my shagri-la 3 is also silnylon and is still going super strong.
There are some downsides about DCF beyond abrasion and cost that don't get mentioned often enough imo.
