Thanks Matt. I’m using a 210D nylon with TPU coating similar (if not the same) as the original fabric. I got the kit from someone here in the UK that didn’t get around to building but wanted to add the orange seam strips for a different look.

New user here just starting out on a Skeena build (a kit someone else imported but didn’t start the build other than separating out the parts). Looking forward to getting on with it and exploring the Scottish Highlands.
