MemBrain® Strata™
Marmot’s own lightweight waterproof / breathable technology. A lamination technology that rates a whopping 20,000mm in waterproof performance and 20,000 gr in breathability.
Requiring neither lining nor 3-layer construction like many similar lamination processes, MemBrain® Strata™ products are by far the lightest, most breathable garments in their categories.
Marmot’s proprietary 2.5 layer MemBrain® Strata uses micro non-organic particles on the inside of the lamination to increase durability and provide a dry touch instead of that clammy feeling you get from some other products.
The back print pattern is carefully designed to achieve the maximum durability and breathability. Abrasion tests rate 4-5 times better than regular MemBrain® (which is why regular MemBrain, as well as all 2-layer laminates require a separate lining).
Compared to 2.5 layer coatings in the market, our 2.5 layer lamination is about 100% more breathable. In addition, laminated stretch fabrics stretch more and have a softer hand than 2.5 layer coated fabrics.
DAC
DAC tent poles are up to 15% lighter than aluminum, yet comparable in strength. Through innovative design, DAC created a light weight and compact folding tent pole.

This is a well-made piece of lightweight gear! I chose the Home Alone because most of my hiking is in a desert environment where trading weight for water is important. This is a bivy shelter with tent features. I'm 6'4" tall and had plenty of room. I was able to change clothes inside and there is enough space to raise up on my elbows. It will collect condensation with the outer flap closed enough to shed rain, but it's not enough to bother my sleep. While it's not free standing, it can be pitched with only two anchor points. The weights shown are accurate. I chose the Home Alone because it looked like the best balance of space, weight, features and cost. I'm not disappointed!
