I bought a 5 mm 'light air' sheet awhile ago, but find that the 'classic' Rooster Polilite (~6 mm or 1/4") works just fine.
In retrospect, I now feel that I wasted some money.
Rooster Polilite, definitely my favorite mainsheet for all conditions! (and Ben Ainsle's!)
Resists tangles, doesn't absorb water, easy to grip
(I like sailing without gloves but for windy conditions I use zhik rubberized gloves or Rooster pro gloves)
You can use most blocks, but I would suggest using a smaller mainsheet block with the 5mm (I think the one I've got is a Ronstan 40c) it's significantly smaller than the ones most people use, non-ratcheting. Great holding power, Trims in quick, eases out easy! Amazing combo!
