I’m looking to make a outer cover the quilt I use on my hammock. I’d like to use a microporous polypropylene fabric like used on many of the lightweight rain suits. Does anyone know of a souce to buy it.

thanks

Just in case you weren’t aware, Jacks R Better’s Weather Shield is made of just that sort of fabic, for just that sort of purpose.

If you do find the material, I think you will be happy with it. I found no condensation/frost inside my JRB Weather Shield bottom, while I did have condensation inside the silnylon HH UnderCover.
