bounce house on a flatbed
A perfect analogy!
It's been since the mid-90s since I've been around the technology.
At that time, there were relatively lightweight, Hypalon-coated fabrics coming out of Spartanburg, South Carolina. It might have been James River Textiles. They were non-expandable, lighter than Naugahyde, and had UV resistant coatings.
When I see today's, car lot helium blimps, inflatable outdoor bounce houses, and advertising, I think immediately of these fabrics.
