According to my MEC catalogue, they are made of PU-coated nylon. I may
get arounf to buying some or I may simply use some 4 mil plastic & duct
tape & mutter about the feel & sound of it. 

I gather that VBL's don't have a zipper as moisture will escape through
a closed zipper & could dampen the sleeping bag in that area. They do
have a drawstring.
