A tyvek kilt. This is usually referenced in terms of rain protection. Hmmmm.
Thoughts?
Until this got me thinking about it I hadn't considered Tyvek. It'd be great in the waterproof department, definitely lightweight, and it's really inexpensive from what I've seen. The big downside is that so far I'm only finding it in white.
