Let me revise the question: Why AREN’T people using Cuben Fiber tents?

Boston and Cubby just finished the PCT using a cuben fiber tent. Check out there journal or contact them.

Thank you!

By the way, Boston & Cubby have as tight a gear list as I’ve seen. They are on the far end of the curve. The fact that they have a Cuben Fiber tent says something.

Boston and Cubby also have a habit of reviewing their gear in a post-trip entry–at least they did for their CDT trip and I found it most helpful. I’m looking forward to their review of the ZPacks Hexamid. Interestingly, the two of them seem to have gotten along fine with the Solo Hexamid. I believe the 2-person version (Twin Hexamid) wasn’t yet available when they started.

I suspect that it’s cost as much as anything else that is keeping down the number of people using cuben fiber shelters.
