Hello

I have been pondering the use of the following product
as a storm caige.  This guy is selling a full length
poncho made from tyvek.  I could shorten it to the
appropriate length.  The idea is that it would be kept
in the day hatch and used as an extra layer if
required.  It would be loose fitting, so you could
just pull it on overtop.  Thoughts?

The fabric used is "Tyvek. 1460uv"  Does anybody know
what happens to this fabric does when submurged in
water?
