Tyvek 3.7oz Rainwear

Cool,
Its nice and long. Is this material any more durable than the Driducks?( if you have seen them). Just wondering if you are able to compare the two.
I added a visor to my driducks with a piece of plastic cut from a milk carton. I just glued it on after wrapping it in driducks material from the pants so that it matches.

Junichi – that is awesome! Great idea.

Great Idea. I was thinking of doing the same thing. You might want to check your seams. I know that the stuff we get at work does not have sealed seams. It would be easy to seal the seam, just use the tyvek tape and your done.

Driducks is polypropylene, Tyvek is UHMWPE. I don't know the performance difference. I wish I did.

My guess is tyvek is less breathable and less waterproof but more durable.

I agree with steve Evans. Great idea! Thanks for posting the pictures, too.

John, how could it be both less breathable and less waterproof? Wouldn't it be either less breathable or less waterproof?

Maybe..lol. I was talking about housewrap type tyvek which is certainly more durable and less breatheable. The waterproofness versus driducks I am not sure about.

The type tyvek the OP is bringing up is a different animal from housewrap. It's probably less durable than housewrap, more breatheable and less waterproof in my opine.

Thank you for a lot of comment

Tyvek Type is 1422A
I don't expect so much durability
But I think that I can use Tyvek rainwear repeatedly to some extent.
Because as for the hazmat suit is because is it

It thinks me to be good as a spare.
