	It's not a breathable material but rather a vapor barrier.  That is what
it is ordinarily sold as.  Once, long ago, it was used to make those
sleeves for 5 1/4 inch floppies.  I don't know why.
	NY-NJ Trails Council in this area prints their excellent maps on Tyvek. 
Waterproof and tearproof.  Lasts forever.
