Promised to post a pic of the white Sopris, Charlie was extremely accommodating in working with me on the material. I appreciate his willingness to work on this immensely. Ended up by going with a 5 oz dyneema composite (i.e. cuben fiber) material. I am going to tape the seams with CF tape as best I can before using it on my goat, still waiting for the tape I ordered from Zpack to show up.
Saddle weighs exactly 70 oz = 4.375 lb, the CF tape will add an ounce or so.
