Cordura Nylon and Denier Definition

Cordura is made with high tenacity textured nylon.  Cordura is often measured in D for Denier.  Denier is a unit of measurement used to determine the fiber thickness of individual threads or filaments used in the creation of textiles and fabrics. Fabrics with a high denier count tend to be thick, sturdy, and durable.  It has excellent tear resistance and is resistant to abrasion. It is also water repellent due to the coating applied on the wrong side. Perfect for backpacks and bags, as well as reinforcement on high-use areas of clothing to provide extra protection.  

Our latest batch of cordura arrived from a third party with no documentation.  We have used our resources and made our most educated guesses as to which colourways are 1000D and which are 500D.

We also have a small amount of Keprotec in stock.
