I can't afford DCF (Koobahn Phighbre). Which is better, Syl-Nylon or Syl-Poly?

Sil-poly dosent sag when it gets wet and also is less susceptible to UV. Nylon starts off stronger than sil-poly new from the factory but because it gets damaged by UV exposure it slowly gets weaker over time, it also sags when it rains because it absorbs some water so it can also be heavier to pack if you dont have time to dry it in the morning. Would choose sil-poly but its maybe a bit harder to find and slightly more expensive, nothing wrong with nylon though and it will last for many years anyways.
DCF is a meme unless you're thru hiking, dont worry about it and do not buy DCF dry sacks they are absolute dogshit and overpriced for the minimal weight saving compared to 7-15d nylon dry sacks

Seconding everything what >>2511745 said, except for the dry sack part.
DCF is much easier to repair in the field than anything Sil, and is also easier to seal the seams so it’s less likely to leak.

The stretching of nylon is even more of an issue with a large hammock tarp. A windy night can leave it floppy by morning if you’re not using self tensioning guylines.
