I just went to Wal Mart- and i found 1.9oz ripstop for A DOLLAR A YARD!!!! THATS A 400% savings over OWFINC!! ALthough the coating feels different, i know it is waterproof as i have put it through a 7 hour test of holding water in my bathtub. Anyway, i have cut the pieces of fabric and have yet to sew and seam seal, but it seems HUGE compared to the normal fly. It is about a foot and a half wider on each side, and the sides drop much more rapidly and it makes for a very large fly. Current weight is 17 oz's, but its worth it to me.
