To prompt you to consider taking up sewing and begin your path down the "Make Your Own Gear" (MYOG) road we are offering up our 2-layer waterproof breathable fabric for sale this week.
Jerry Adams has posted an article called MYOG: eVent Rain/Wind Jacket which he constructed using a fabric just like this.
Apr 20, 2011 at 9:55 am #1727026Although we can't legally list this on the product page, the product we are selling is in fact two layer eVent waterproof breathable fabric.
Apr 20, 2011 at 10:14 am #1727034The white two layer fabric is recommended to have a lining fabric
It weighs 1.6 ounce per square yard, if you use .9 ounce fabric for a lining the total would be 2.5 ounces per square yard
I used what I think was 2.2 ounce per square yard, but I don't know anywhere you can buy that
Quest has 2.5 ounce 2.5 layer WPB fabric, but I don't think it would be quite as waterproof and breathable as eVent
So, the white plus lining ends up being a pretty good solution.
Apr 20, 2011 at 10:17 am #1727038I'm not complaining but the regular price is $78 for members, the sale price is the same
Typically, when something is on sale, it's cheaper, is that what you intended?
But, $78 is a good price because you can't find it anywhere else
Apr 20, 2011 at 11:24 am #1727068The pricing was a mistake, thanks, Jerry. It is currently on sale for $64 (20% off).
Apr 20, 2011 at 12:09 pm #1727089$64 is a really good price : )
