Convention has always been alternate layers of CSM and roving although I believe today they do market some sort of combo cloth. It does amaze how thin they came make hulls and how easily they can shatter. Roving on roving won't bond and CSM has little tinsel strength.

I can't see a good layup shatter into pieces. Get bashed in yes but not totally loosing integrity,
