Thread: Need some ideas, windproof material

    Default Need some ideas, windproof material

    My Ridgeline has a 5' bed and I want to be able to sleep with the tailgate down. I currently have a Softtopper on it. I don't want the wind to be able to get into the bed area so I want to fab up a piece that will cover my legs in the tailgate area with the tailgate down. Any ideas? I can always resort to using some blue tarp, but I'm not a big fan of it. Also, I'd probably be using a combination of magnets and velcro to hold it in place.

    Silnylon is wind/waterproof.

    There is also ripstop polyester which is windproof. Waterproof if its coated.

    Check out The RainShed they have some 200 D Oxford Ripstop for half price in their "Sale Corner" that would work and could be sewn with a regular machine.
