Matthews Butterfly/Overhead Fabric - 12x12' - White Artificial Silk
Also known as "Rags" these are the materials that are tied to the Butterfly/Overhead frame.
For many years, only the basic materials were used such as scrims to reduce light, silk to diffuse light and solid to eliminate light.
More recently many new materials have been added to allow many degrees of diffusion (Grid Cloths, Black Silks, etc.) plus many new reflective materials are now available to make large reflectors for both sunlight and artificial light such as Matthflectors, Grifflectors and Lames.

Comments about Matthews 12x12' Overhead Fabric - White Artificial Silk:
I'm more of a studio guy but wanted to work on more outdoor shoots and love the effects you can get with large, soft light sources. So it was kind of a no brainer for me. the light loss id more then i expected but I supplement with a strobe if need be. It seems very durable and is easy to clean.
