Not when SilPoly exists. There's little to no use case for dyneema in tents IMO. Its slightly lighter than SilPoly and SilNylon, but its huge and can't be stuffed into a pack like SilPoly and SilNylon can. I'm all about pack size.
Tarptent Moment DW Li (Dyneema) = 745g and $639.
Tarptent Moment DW (SilNylon) = 973g and $349.I'm all for spending stupid amounts of money to reduce pack weight, but its just not worth it for that small of a weight saving IMO - especially when you can't just stuff a Dyneema tent into a pack.

in my experience Dyneema/DCF/Cuben Fibre (all the same thing) packs just as small as 20D SilNylon.
You can stuff it, but it's hardly an effort to fold something up in the morning.
The benefit is its durability, especially in stretch-shear situation. -
I meant more from functionality that it won't absorb water.
I mean, I can see the money argument loud and clear. But it does have performance benefits.
Also I've stuffed my dynema tent every time I packed it. I don't see why you're saying it can't be stuffed.

Isn't this the case for buying dyneema?
