    Question Breathable/Waterproof/Reflective

    For those of you familiar with the Escape Bivy by SOL, I'm looking for a similar material, but in a color other than Safety Orange. Ideal coloring would be ACU Digital Camo, but a muted color would work. Also, I'd like to find this in roll lengths. I realize what SOL uses is proprietary, which is why I'm looking for something similar. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    What you're asking can be likened to Daniel 2:5.

    Anyhow, in this thread, they speculate that it's made out of Durable Polypore, which seems inaccurate.

    Oops, REI says "Metalized spunbonded olefin". What did you mean by "proprietary"?

    Great reply! The thread you mentioned was interesting. By "proprietary", I was quoting SOL's page. I gather the material they use is patented by them.
