CORDURA

It is a fabric invented by Du Pont Company, with the function of light, quick drying, soft, strong durablility, and its color won’t fade even with a long time use. It is said that this kind of fabric turn into two colors in different angles, and no one knows the making method except the Du Pont employees. CORDURA is made of nylon, based on the denier standard, and the nylon can be sorted into 160D, 210D, 330D, 420D, 600D, 900D, 1000D. The higher the denier is, the thicker the texture is. Usually, denier of 160D to 210D is made into clothes or outdoor bags. The negative side of the material is coated, which is not wet even in moderate rain.

OXFORD

Wrap of oxford cloth is woven by two threads, and the weft adopts the relatively thick thread. The weaving method is one knit up, one knit down. The denier of oxford cloth is 210D and 420D, with a coated negative side, which is made into the lining or interlayer of bag.

KODRA

KODRA is from Korea, to some extent, it can be replaced by CORDURA. It is told that the inventor was meant to find how CORDURA was woven, coincidentally, the inventor invented KODRA. KODRA is made of nylon, and it also take denier as its strength criterium like 600D, 1000D. The negative side of it is coated, similar to CORDURA.

HD

HD is short for High Density. It is similar to OXFORD, and the common denier is 210D and 420D, usually used for lining and interlayer.

R/S

R/S is short for rip stop. This material is made of gridded nylon. Its toughness is stronger than nylon and the rim of grid on nylon is surrounded by thick thread.

Doddy

The material of Dobby is madeof many tiny grids, with a careful look, you may find that it is woven by thick and thin threads, and the grain of positive and negative side is different. Its toughness is weaker than CORDURA’s, used for casual bags and short trip traveling bags, not for hiking bags.

VELOCITY

VELOCITY is a kind of nylon, with strong toughness, commonly used for hiking bags, coated on the negative side. The denier is 420D or higher. It looks like Dobby.

TAFFETA

TAFFETA is a thin coated material with good waterproof function. It is made into raincoats and rain covers.

Poly PU

It is replaced by Poly. The density of Poly is 64t(low), 74t(medium), 82t(high). The fabric from 150 d and 1800 d intensity is stronger and stronger. The 600D one can be made into hiking bags, but it is not solid as CORDURA.

AIR MESH

It is different from the ordinary net. There is interspace between net and material, a thickness of 3mm or more. It is the interspace that makes it ventilated. Air mesh is usually made into belt and pad.
