I think the future of our industry is moving towards either Peel & Stick house wraps, or to Fluid Applied air/water barriers. I just did my first house with German manufacturer Cosella-Dorken’s Delta Vent SA and here’s a video review.
In summary, I’ve really liked this Delta Vent SA product. I may be hard to find in your area, but if you’re looking to ratchet down your air tightness and have a high perm house wrap this product is fantastic.

Matt: I don't see taping along the seams of the sheathing. Does this product eliminate that need? If so, how much does that offset the increased price of the product? Thanks, Chuck
@oreganocrk: Yes this system eliminates the need to tape the plywood seams. This whole system is like a BIG roll of tape for the whole house! That does help offset the cost. Good question Chuck. Best, Matt
Where did you buy the sticky House Wrap as a team we are looking to use this product for our 800 s.f classroom for the design build program in bluff utah, rather then using the tyvek method.
