The same size tarp from Yama in Dyneema/SilPoly is:
Dyneema: 20cm x 15cm x 5cm / 156g / $295
SilPoly: 13cm x 18cm x 5cm / 255g / $110I just don't see why anyone would buy the Dyneema version, personally. And I know it sounds silly, but IMO rolling/folding something up in the morning IS a pain, when I can just stuff the entire thing without any concern in my outside pocket.

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.
