Anyone care to share their experience pro or con with either the Integral Designs Siltarp 2 or the Granite Gear White Lightnin Tarp? I will be using them in the Cascades but don’t know which one to get…

Siltarp vs White Lightnin
system
#2
I bought the white lightnin and have used it once.
It pitches very easy with hiking poles or between trees. Takes 8 stakes with one and 6 the other.
It’s designed well for the “pup tent” look but doesn’t really work as well other ways. It’s sewn well and you can really get a tight pitch.
I wish I’d gotten the 10x10 instead of 8x10 for higher head room.
The biggest complaint I have is the color. The inside at night stayed bright and kept me awake.
I’m going to try dying it but the material probably won’t take.
