Inspired by Stu's shower curtain, I cannibalised an old tent to make this end panel for my Silwing. Hopefully it'll keep off the worst of any wind-driven rain on wet, blowy nights. It weighs 40-odd grams but could be a lot lighter in swankier fabric. It goes in the Silwing stuff sac with room to spare.

Good effort ... even colour matched*


*I apologise if it isn't colour matched, to me it does appear to be but that could just be my colour blindness.

Ta. It's not a bad match - looks better in the pic than in reality though.

Nice. I'm considering making one for my lair now...

Cracking idea

Just cowboyed one out of my original tarp and a clothes peg for the small end of the silwing came in at 109 grams including it's bag that I found for it.
Anyone got some "swankier" lightweight stuff laying around as I don't want to cut up my siltarp.

Buy a metre or so of silnylon from Point North fabrics for a few quid? That should do it

Cheers Charles. Just ordered a couple of meters

Cheers Charles.

Just finished off the silnylon "beef curtain" for the small end of my Silwing and it weighs in at exactly 40g.

I'll try it our this long weekend up in Northumberland.

Nice one! Not used mine properly yet - the weather's been too nice.
