How do you wash the Tyvek to make it softer, warm, hot, cold, soap, no soap?
I was told that you could put it in a standard cold load w/normal soap but I haven't tried it yet. People say you can wash it MANY times as well. Six moon designs sells their footprints in Tyvek.Originally Posted by swjohnsey
#1: Why can't you put it in the dryer?
#2: What could possible weigh less than Tyvek?
Be Prepared
They make many different types of Tyvek. The stuff used to make clothing and envelopes makes much nicer (and somewhat lighter) hiking gear. There are a few people who sell it on eBay.
once,I took a break and was sitting on my tyvek with the white side up and eventually noticed a tick crawing across, trying to get at me. I realized that it works good for spotting ticks..

That is a good idea.
Well, you could if you want it to shrink....
BTW cold water wash - no soap - watch for water bombs when removing from washer...
I hope your insurance was up to date!
I ordered some tyvek from zpacks but they sent me the wrong size. I was going to make a trap. Now all I have is a waste of money scrap
Is tyvek waterproof? Could those tyvek coveralls sold for painters be used as raingear?
No, Tyvek is NOT waterproof. It is highly water resistant.
Tyvek Scraps
Like most things DuPont does they don't adapt and they don't change pricing. There are competitors. Typar makes products that are tougher and generally perform better than Tyvek but there are others and they are always cheaper.
