: Cost for either of the above fabrics would be $22 CDN (~14USD) per metre,

Jamie,

Dyson costs for 8 oz Ballistic Nylon would be about half the cost of that above and much easier to sew. 12 oz is about 2/3 the above cost. You may be able to get the holes patched in the urethane coated products, but it may look a lot like you took a store awning down and wrapped it around the kayak... Getting rid of wrinkles may be very hard.

If you are interested in contacting Dyson etc, his contact information is at the following link on KayakWiki .
