Does anybody know of a source for eVent fabric?  I've been searching but all I come up with are clothing that is made with eVent or sale 'events' for fabric stores.    BangHead  I need a couple of yards for a bivy.

Thanks

eVent fabric isn't sold to the public, as I believe it's one of those "proprietary fabrics" that only certain manufacturers buy the rights to use.  Every year or two it seems that a small batch will pop up at a fabric re-seller.  The quality of these "remnants" are often 2nds or 3rds, which is often why they become available to them.  I had my eye out looking for some for a couple months before I was able to scoop 3 yards up off of the backpackinglight forums...

At one point backpackinglight.com had it by the roll to buy in their store. Maybe check around in the forums over there.
