I'm going to use my rudimentary sewing skills and a friends assistance and make a DIY UQ. I'm going with the Climashield Apex full length Kit from RSBTR.
I have absolutely no idea what fabric to choose. Much less which should I choose for the outer shell, inner shell etc.
My knowledge only runs to ripstop nylon. Can someone help with the pros and cons of the fabrics and make some general suggestions. I don't want to take a 3 hour course in fabrics. I did some research into the fabrics available at RSBTR but just got more confused on what I need.
My priorities are
- Durability over weight
- Easy to sew
- Not be too slick requiring constant adjustment
Do I need the outer layer waterproof? Does the inner layer need waterproof? Does it need to be breathable etc...
