Newbie to Cuben Fiber

.51 oz/sqyd

“If silnylon is so 2005 and spinnaker is so 2007, then what is so 2010 you ask? Well, Cuben Fiber of course.” via Backpackinglight

我曾經閱讀一篇文章”Blogs look so 2004″,六年後的今天我還繼續在寫Blog。戶外物料上的轉變,如BPL所說:Silnylon 已經是2005年的產品,而Spinnaker 是2007,但在2010 會是什麼? 2010 相信會是 Cuben Fiber!
Cuben Fiber 是Ultralight Backpacker 追求更輕層次的物料! 我不是超輕的Die Hard Fans,最主要會是環境沒有這種需求感,所以如果超輕Backpacking 純是娛樂的情況下,我就會再考慮其他因素,如價錢,設計,用料,配色,品牌等等。至於令我真正想了解會是因為Zpacks Hexamid Solo Tent,近日又入手2 sqyd .51 oz Cuber Fiber玩玩,但真正玩上手還是新手一個,在此分享一些自已找尋關於Cuben Fiber 的資料。

簡介:
Cuben Fiber 名字的由來是1992 的 America’s Cup 帆船競賽比賽,當時的America³ (pronounced America Cubed) 贏得比賽,而America³  當時使用了專有的物料(America Cube Carbon Fiber Hybrid),而媒體更給這物料改了個名字「Cuben Fiber」。
非帆船用的Cuben Fiber自2003年起由 Cubic Tech Crop 研發及生產。而Cuben Fiber Corp就繼續生產帆船用的Cuben Fiber。

構造:
“Cuben Fiber is a laminated fabric constructed from plasma-treated Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber monofilaments and polyester, PVF etc. films. Cuben fiber is sometimes confused with carbon fiber, one of the many fibers used as a reinforcement in some Cuben Fiber laminatess.” via Wiki

特點:
發展到今日的Cuben Fiber 有以下特性:
超輕量,防水,抵抗紫外線和其高強度,強度比起其他物料都要好*,比起其他物料同等厚度甚至更厚*都耐用,以上各點都得到超輕背包者的垂青。最輕的Cuben Fiber 據說是.29oz/sqyd。

現時巿面上的Cuben Fiber 戶外產品:
背包(2),帳蓬(2),睡袋雜物袋天幕背包套, 露宿袋Poncho Tarp, Wallet雪鞋…等等!
