Hmmmm. I'm not sure - I bought mine for backpacking and it was recommended as wind-resistant. I section hiked with it for a couple of years but now hike with cheapie Bics and match backups (for weight reasons - yes, every .1 oz counts for me). It sure performs well in wind and I never saw much deflection. I'll have to get my hands on a new one and compare.

Can you get the industrial ones in the US?
