This thread is to check interest on a group buy of the Isultex material.
Discussion Thread Here.
Received additional information from i.d.i. on the Insultex material.
I emailed about the availability of the material and received the following reply:
Far too much for me to buy individually.Yes, the price is $2.25 per linear yd You must purchase it by the roll of 325 yd.

If others are interested I would be willing to do a group buy of a roll. It would cost the $2.25/yd + shipping (probably postal being the cheapest). I would prorate the shipping cost to me over the 325 yards.
I would suggest waiting until guySmiley has been able to do a better cold weather test (hopefully this weekend or next week).
If his test results indicate that the material is worth investing in, then a group buy could be done.
I would purchase the full roll and cut off yardage for those who would like some and ship. I will have to understand how paypal works and set up a means of payments through paypal.
I would personally like about 15 yards. That will leave about 310 yds.
I would like the purchases to be in 1 yard increments and a minimum of 10 yds ($22.50+postage), that means maybe 30 people who would like some of the Insultex for under quilts and top quilts. If more than 30 people are interested in smaller yardage, a minimum of 5 yds ($11.25 + postage) may be better.
At $2.25/yd, that is almost as good as the WalMart bargain bin. $22.50 for 10 yds of this stuff to work with is cheap for material as I'm sure those who have been purchasing fabrics for hammocks can attest.
