Some time ago I ordered from you the cuben fabric/D.C.F. (19g/m2). My goal was to sew an ultralight waterproof rain jacket from it for my road bike tours. Attached now two pictures where you can see the jacket. I sewed light mesh fabric into the bottom sleeve and side panel to allow some air circulation. All hems are hemmed with a light elastic band. All seams with two layers of cuben/D.C.F. are merely taped with your cuben tape, not sewed. The result: the jacket weighs just 40gr, is waterproof and nicely small for the back pocket of the jersey. Thank you for such a great fabric, please keep up the good work.
