Tyvek (the Dupont brand house wrap) is a vapor-permeable material. It's
non-woven, non-directional HDPE (spunbonded olefin) and breathes while
shedding water.  Very flammable, very slippery.  I like to use it inside
out when wrapping a house, less advertising. :)

Got pics?


Since it holds water, are there issues with vapor breathability?


I heard of hikers using tyvek to insulate their tents in the winter.=20
