Given the attic temperatures around here and the propensity of Tyvek to get snagged on roof nails, I don't think these are great options for us. It's hard enough wearing long pants and sleeves in Florida, which is the minimum I require for attic work. I've seen insulation guys in short sleeved shirts around here. I don't know how they get away with it (or endure the itching). Then again, a lot of new homes are going in with foam or blown-in insulation.
