Thanks, good resource! She does not mention how to get eVENT.

Feathered Friends makes down sleeping bags with optional eVENT exterior.
It is the most expensive of three options, nylon taffeta being the chepest
and Nextec Epic in the middle.

OSsystems makes drysuits from Sympatex, but perhaps they could be convinced
to make one from eVENT. Their customer service is reputed to be almost
as good as Kokatat's, which I know is excellent.

The Spirit drysuit looks good, as its entry zipper seems to be placed
so as to make a relief zipper unnecessary.
