What about Goretex, is it more dimensionally stable than Nylon?

GoreTex is a coating laminated to a fabric. The fabric can be nylon, polyester,
acrylic, anything.

GoreTex laminates are rarely applied to a heavy material - most are light to medium
weight fabrics. If you want a canoe cover that is likely to last (or have some resale
value if you no longer need it) then you will want a heavier fabric. I DAGS and found
one supplier that uses 6.5 oz polyester fabric. You can probably use that as a starting
point.
