Dodger Window Material
I'm shopping for window material for a dodger. It seems that Strataglass is good stuff but costs about twice as much as others.
Does anyone have experience with Strataglass? Is it worth the premium expense?
I have used Regalite but it is "just ok" in my opinion.
Does anyone have an opinion on Crystal Clear brand? Have never used it.
Also, what thickness do you like? Gauge 30 or 40?
Any input is appreciated.

Re: Dodger Window Material
Two different sets of our friends have used Strata Glass, and both are very satisfied: it doesn't scratch as easily as does some dodger window material, and stays clear for years.

I like Tuffak Marine-5 (was Makrolon) but if you think Stratglass is dear then this isn't for you.

Have not seen that for sale anywhere. But I'm in the US.
