An ultralight Darien would make a great urban riding tool (we said to ourselves). We build it just this way, with a tough, 160 denier Cordura Gore Tex fabric. Although it offers less crash and abrasion resistance, it s so much lighter that it s great for camping, skiing, touring, commuting, and general wear. More comfortable in high and low temps (+90, -30) than the regular Darien.
