most of the question was ansewered very well eg fires burning nylon, noise produced by nylon there is one other problem not meantioned this is the availability of the stuff. in my town there is nowhere to buy the latest and greatest. one store and it is a hunting shop they do stock some stuff but only in camo.


You can get most of the latest and greatest (if you can afford it) down here, but not the traditional stuff, so it's the reverse of the same problem. Even then, the winter gear is for mild winters or aimed at skiers, mostly because that's what's going to sell.
