Cuben 'Shower Curtain' hot off the sewing machine. Okay, so it doesn't turn a tarp into a tent but at 20g the amount of additional protection it offers is very surprising. Hopefully this will become a production item in both cuben and sil'.

My initial plans to call it a 'beef curtain' were thwarted

Looks interesting, got any side on pics?

Don't take this the wrong way Ben but I can't decide whether that's a serious question ... how do you mean side on? I'm not sure there'd be much to photograph

Great idea,I'd be interested in of these to go with the Tarp pole,
Any idea on cost yet ? I actually thought you meant a shower curtain
On first glance as I've been looking at one of them as a lightweight
Groundsheet

Any idea on cost yet ?

Not yet, I'm just figuring out which weight of cuben to use as that will effect price.

Okey doke, a Sil' version would be okay for me,if I was being such a weight weenie
I'd need to take a good look at myself first

What weight have you used there?

This one's made from 27g/m but I've got some 15g sat under my desk which I'll hopefully try next week.

No wrong way taken!

Side angle is a good point, it may just be a sliver, maybe rear three quarter shot?

I can't picture how much it's angled and how it fits the set ups you've got in the pics (though I know you can change the set up!)

Are you sure you have not pinched that from Vanessa Phelps grundies drawer?

Thanks. Other than the usual sources in Germany, is there anywhere special I should be looking for cuben?

I'm just waiting to hear back from someone, I'll let you know once I do.

Ben, I'll sort out some pics next week.

and Dave, yes, it does rather

Just made a 'Shower Curtain' for Adam from 15g/m cuben. It's slightly shorter than this one but a little wider. With 2mm adjustable shockcord tie-outs it tips the scales @ 15g.

Any ideas on the price for the 'Tarpthongs' yet ?

Sorry, missed this ... I'm still waiting on a firm material price but hopefully I'll know soon.

This guy has the same idea Stu

Just finished this for Mr Fitz and his Trailstar. In 15g/m cuben with tie-outs and tie-back, it comes in @ 17g.

I might be interested in one of these curtains but I can’t find any showers on the site. What showers are you guys using and how do you carry the shower gel?

Some would say this whole place is an absolute shower, as per Terry-Thomas (Google... )

I reckon the cuben curtains are collectors items now that Stu has switched to spinnaker. Have got one of each and they're very useful. How many cuben ones did you make in the end Stu? Collectors item or not?

Probably a dozen or so.

How much would a spinnaker Trailstar one put an interested back?
Might have a good home for one.

What size would that be? I don't recall (but could well be wrong) making a TS specific one.

I’ll measure it up Stu and give you a shout.
Cheers fella!
