I thought you might find this interesting. I saw it on a yahoo group. Gram weenies rejoice! :D
Reading the feed it appears this stuff is breathable.

With that stuff it looks like you practically are.
I bet it would make some interesting wind shirts and pants.
It looks like a painter's plastic dropcloth. Maybe more durable?

I have inquired about their products, in case they will work for covering IX UQs.
