---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment My thinking was that gortex would more effectively inhibit air flow then grill cloth, while still allowing moisture to escape. It's interesting that DC first recommended mylar then switched to grill. These are two very different types of materials. They must have decided that breathablity was an issue. I thought maybe Gortex or some similar microporous material might be the best of both worlds. Apparantly DC has done a lot of R & D over the years. I would be interested to see all the documentation on what tests they ran and what all the results were.
