The windpac seems to be made of some kind of microfiber polyester which
has no fuzziness at all to the finish - almost shiny smooth. Thickness
wise it's thinner than a t-shirt, thicker than a silk handkerchief.
Acoustically it's very transparent - almost no rolloff at any frequency.
Hmm... I have a friend who's involved in fabric design - maybe I can get
her take on the material sometime.
