Best Synthetic Roofing Underlayments

What is the best synthetic roofing underlayments you have used. I have used Titanium several times but it works best in warm weather and not the best for winter because of the color. I need something in black with good slip resistance. Thanks

The only synthetic underlayments I use are the ice and water shields at the problem areas (valleys, gutters, flashings). I use organic 30# for the field.

Re: Best Synthetic Roofing Underlayments

Try Grace TriFlex 30 (Grey or Black). Also, RoofTopGuard2 is black. For me, the RTG2 is too wide (60") of a roll (I'm short). TriFlex 30 is only 6 1/2" narrower than Titanium. We also had trouble getting the snow & icw off of Titanium due to it's color.
