Hi, Anyone know where I can buy eVent fabric. Aust/ Worldwide?
I am planning to make my own mitts.
Seems tobe a simple first project. One face eVent and the other a tuff waterproof fabric . Cut, Sew and seal seams
Plus can not seem to find any simple shell mitts in eVent
I know MLD make some $50 plus delivered.
Maybe this project will lead to more and I will get the MYOG Bug.

Hi Marangaroo,

Good luck with the MYOG project. Please post pics when you're finished.

I'll admit I spent a bit of time hunting for a lightwieght shell mitt myself. Nearly bought a set of MLD mitts.
I ended up buying a set made by Hestra for AUS $100. Expensive but they're quite tough. Not eVent though. The big factor for me was durability.

abceight The Hestra mitts do look quite tough.
I was thinking some Dyneema X Gridstop for durability on the palm.

I definately think it would be durable and light. Not sure about waterproof?? unless you sew it on over the top or get a siliconised version. hmmmmm

I need some shell mitts too so I'd be interested to see how this project comes along
Have you found any eVent yet?

Still have found no supply of eVent.
May have to keep an eye out for some cheap eVent gaiters and cut up.
Shame because I just sold a pair I had no use for.
I will report on this project when I get started.

I have some reasonable 2layer Gtex if that would help, but try Rockwoods for the mitten kit

THANKS FOR THE OFFER Moondog55
I have put my myog projects on the back burner at the moment
I have just started back at work after 7 months off with a broken leg.
It has been harder to get back into it and also find time to get my leg and body back to normal.
I will post when I get back to MYOG
