Cuben fiber is a trip. I've worked a fair bit with UHMW plastic, which as I understand it is what it's made from.... crazy that they came up with a fabric made of the stuff.


I did the Wonderland Trail in Washington last year and can’t wait to get back up there. Washington section of the PCT will be high on my list after retirement. Good news is if you buy a Duplex and hate it, they’re easy to sell.
