Many decades ago whist I was walking and working in the UK there was a fabric used for packs and gaiters that had a very thin layer of PE sandwiched between an inner and outer layer of nylon.
When it worked it was great at keeping out the water but it soon developed multiple pin holes and started to leak. I’m wondering if anybody has worked on a similar fabric using Cuben/DCF, using a better skin fabric and if so would it be better or worse than the current crop of Cuben/DCF or proofed nylons/polyesters?
