I need help finding a material.?

It needs to be; airtight, light weight, flexible, resistant to wear and tear, resistant to the elements, and has to have a high tinsil strength. Can anyone think of anything that fits the bill?

Update:

I was thinking of something more or less like rubber, but lighter, it needs to be really light to average human strength. As tall as a human up to shoulder, and double arm length.

Update 2:

Its a triangle, 58"x58"x82". It needs to be able to take the impact of a bird at 20 mph without ripping or tearing. Each triangle needs to be less than 5 pounds ... with max of 10. It's for aviation.

    You need to tell us what it's for, or give us some numbers instead of vague descriptions.

    How light? how resistant, what tensile strength?

    edit, your additional details don't help.

    "light to average human strength"? what does that mean?

    "As tall as a human up to shoulder, and double arm length" and what does that mean also? What does size have to do with strength and weight?
