What does this mean?

On my building warrant drawings, with regard to the timber frame it says, "... consisting of Tyvek Reflex and 2.0mm cavity breather membrane...".

 

What does that actually mean? To me I would just get a roll of suitable house wrap and attach it according spec - what gets me is the "and" and what does the 2.0mm refer to? rather than a dimension is this a typo and it was mean to be 2,000mm²/m or something... anyway confused and I cannot ask the guy who wrote it now. 

 

So, with the timber frame started at the weekend I will need a roll of something suitable this week - I know you can pay all sorts of prices for these, I don't want cheap but I want reasonable, I don't know that spending £400 on a roll of DuPont for example is worth it (well maybe it is) so what you guys have found to be good I'd be interested in hearing about - also, if I am buying a roll, as it is only an extension it would be good if it was one of those wall & roof membranes then I can use it all over.

 

Thanks
