I've been using a small piece of Tyvek for past few years as a groundcloth and also as an emergency skirt for cold wind/weather protection. I use the lightweight "kite making" tyvek, and I haven't found it to be especially waterproof. I'm wondering if anyone has ever used NikWax products for treating Tyvek. I'm thinking about using a light solution of Nikwax TX Direct as a wash-in to add some waterproofing capacity. Any thoughts?

My first thought is that ther are a number of waterproof choices out there that are lighter than Tyvek.

Try it John, sounds like a good experiment.
