Yes, they are great too and very light. Walt said you can get them at most
military surplus stores. On the East Coast we see them at the "Sunny
Surplus."

We are pretty sure Lynne was using "Tyvek" a thin insulating material used
in houseing and also by many laboratories for uniforms. This material is
extra light, durable and you can now purchase jackets, lab uniforms,and
other miscellaneous items. DuPont is the maker and they sell the uniforms.
We sent away for information, but didn't want to buy "100" lab uniforms
(their minimum!) I don't remember is Quest Outfitters sells any of this
material now or not. Their number is 1-800-359-6931.

We haven't heard from Tick since Vermillion -- would also like his address,
both snail and e-mail!
