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.

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.
