The stoic tent is polyester taffeta with polyester thread. It kind of invalidates all your percentages and data when your basic premise (my tent is made from a cellulose fiber) was made upon a complete misunderstanding of the definition of "taffeta."
I see your point, it's just the logic loop I was trying to disrupt in the interest of discussion.
The tent is fine. If i were berating anyone for using a Big Agnes tent, i'd be berating myself first. I am firmly advocating the US-made cottage gear for ultralighters and subtly offering that even the best double-walls are still overbuilt for ultralighting (so might as well go cheap!)
ultimately... I have no place telling anyone what to do, and I can't say for certain the Stoic tent is sound. I'm just stirring up the conversation.
