I agree, plastic is cheap, and apropos for the very few times I might use a VBL. Probably more susceptible to puncture than fabric, though. ************************************************************************** * I made my present VBL by taping one and a fraction emergency space blankets into a bag shape. (One was just a tad small.) It has held up well over the years, but is a bit noisy if you move around much. Use plastic electrician's tape. The adhesive in duct tape tends to dry out over time, and I don't know how well it holds up at subzero (F.) temperatures.
