They try to trick you with a lousy product and fancy marketing. The weight of the synthetic underlayment is a great indication of the quality of the underlayment. The membrane layer is where you get your water proofing and abrasion resistance. In an effort to save money, there are brands of synthetic underlayment that boast about their mil thickness. This can be misleading though as some of these underlayment have a fuzzy top layer for walkability that's a false indicator of the materials thickness.
Q:Is Synthetic Roof Underlayment Better Than Felt Underlayment?
A:Synthetic roof underlayment is the most preferred form of underlayment material for its strength and tear resistance.

Only within the last two decades has synthetic underlayment hit the market as an improved product that would not have the problems with felt.
