What is 500d nylon

This is the industry standard for waterproofing outdoor fabrics. The D Cordura scores slightly higher because of it receiving a 2 pass PU coating thicker where the D polyester receives a 1 pass. Check out our Waterproof Test. This makes them both resistant to mold and mildew while allowing them to shed any water-based mess like a true champion.

However, as mentioned above, the polyester has a slicker surface than the textured, rugged feel of the nylon. This scores the D Polyester a 5 out of 5 on our scale for its ease of cleaning — just dampen a cloth… wipe and go! Burlap is awful in comparison. These fabrics are perfect for hunting blinds. With all the bells and whistles that come with these fabrics, it comes as no surprise they are towards the higher end of our fabric pricing range.

These fabrics are constructed to take abuse. They will last longer and perform outdoors brilliantly. This is the ultimate fabric to hide you and to keep your shadows hidden on a sunny morning. I lean toward d poly for a duck blind but I have to do something for the reverse side. White is not good.

Is there a way of painting the fabric to get rid of the white color? Have you any other suggestion? Thanks for contacting us. You are correct about the D poly — most of it comes with a white back.

I think your reference to Country was about the D that has the black shadowblock backing. So, you have two patterns to choose from. So, is D strong enough? We believe it is, at least for most of the cases.

It is definitely strong enough for making a daily backpack or school bag. On the other hand, if you are developing a backpack that needs to be super durable, such as a military backpack , D Nylon would be a better choice.

By comparing the two different D fabrics in this test, we can see that the backing material makes a huge difference to the strength of the fabrics. The D that comes with PVC backing is about 2. This is something interesting to note. Regrettably, PVC is being banded by many countries due to product safety concern. It is because tearing strength is not the only thing to consider when determining the durability of a fabric, the other important consideration being abrasion resistance.
