I get where you’re coming from—synthetics have definitely saved my bacon a few times when jobs got delayed and the weather turned ugly. I remember one spring, we had a week of nonstop rain and the synthetic underlayment held up way better than felt ever did for me. That said, I do miss how easy felt is to work with, especially on steep pitches. Slippery synthetics make me nervous sometimes... but yeah, for storm-prone spots, I just can’t trust felt to last more than a couple days exposed. Still hoping someone cracks the code on an eco-friendly option that actually holds up.
