polycro?

Polycro comes in different thicknesses. Apparently, it is better to get the 1.5 mm rather than the more common 0.75 mm grade.

There are some useful construction techniques, here:

I have read reports of Tyvek leaking at pressure points, e.g., when kneeling. On the other hand Polycro seems to be less durable.

I think I had one of polycro too. So thin, like cling film.

Maybe it was the 0.75mm thickness variety? The 1.5mm grade would be a fair bit thicker than ordinary cling film.
