Why We Use Cordura® in Our Products
10× the abrasion resistance of standard cotton — Cordura® fabric outlasts conventional workwear materials in demanding field environments by a significant margin.
High strength-to-weight ratio means protective performance without bulk. 500D Cordura® delivers outstanding durability at just 245 g/m² — lighter than traditional canvas alternatives.
Standard DWR treatment repels water and light oil to rating 80+ (AATCC spray test). PFAS-free DWR options available for applications requiring fluorine-free compliance.
