I like the TYVEK material. It has kevlar in it. Very difficult for water to
transmit thru. If applied correctly, with tape, and ice and water over
window flanges ,I believe it is a superior product to our weather in the
Northeast. If you live in a dry climate , I guess it would not make a
difference which product you used. I have been told some areas of the
country require no building wrap. I have no knowledge of other areas.
fastening techniques vary ,check their website. Off to football!

Tyvek is made from spun-bonded polyethylene. There is no Kevlar in it.
