I'm looking for some of this discontinued fabric from Thru-hiker and elsewhere. I'll take any amount up to 6 yards or so.

Thanks, Ed

did you ask Paul from thru-hiker? He sometimes has small quantities not advertised on internet.

Hey Ed,
Have you looked at any of the fabric from ripstop by the roll? I really like the old M90 from Thru-Hiker, but the fabric from RBTR is more breathable. It might be a fine substitute. I ordered a sample pack from them and was very impressed.

Thanks I'll try RBTR.

Jerry I did ask Paul, and he didn't have any or have a connection.

I'm interested in the M90 T because Richard tested it some time ago as having a hydrostatic head in the 900s. I'm making a kind poncho bivy, sort of like the old hilleberg bivanorak, but modular, perhaps with a foot that converts to pants if I can figure out the design. I'm looking for something without a coating and around 1000-1500mm water-resistant, perhaps to bring in lieu of rain or wind jackets/pants in mild weather.
