<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Material selection: Several examples of ultra light materials used in making hiking/climbing gear<br />
:* DCF (dyneema composite fabric): DCF, formerly known as cuben fiber, is a very light and waterproof material. It is often used to make tents, backpacks, and groundcloths.<br />
:* Polycro is a very light and tear-resistant material, usually used as a groundsheet to protect the bottom of the tent from the ground.<br />
:* Tyvek is a durable and water-resistant material, often used for groundcloths and can also be used to make lightweight protective clothing.<br />
:* Ripstop nylon: ripstop reinforced nylon makes it a good choice for tents and backpacks due to its strength and resistance to tearing.<br />
:* Polyester often used for clothing and tents because it dries quickly and is ultraviolet resistant.<br />
:* Titanium. For cookware and tent pegs, titanium is a popular choice because it is light and very strong.<br />
:* Aluminum: Used in backpack frames and some types of tent pegs, and cooking equipment, aluminum offers a good combination of strength and lightness.<br />
:* Magnesium alloy: Some manufacturers use magnesium alloy to make carabiners and other lighter climbing gears.</div>FuzzyBot
