Thruhiker has some lightweight Dyneema - about 1/2 the weight of OWF's.
quest outfitters also does. it is blue with a dyneema ripstop and doesnt have a coating. it doesnt seem tougher, than what cordura would be like, butthe ripsop being dyneema makes me feel that any rip isnt going to get any farther than its box.
This appears to be 70d rather than 210d fabric.Originally Posted by Spock
Hi everyone!
Well we have been trying to create a lightweight reinforced daily Backpack, this is the version 1.12,
For the version 1.13 we are going to make some improvements like the http://www.itwnexus.com/images/items/VSR_0206.jpg and this
We want to use a reasonable price lightweight resistant fabric, we have read about it and we have fond.
1. Fabric reinforced with spectra, seem to be a good material, but no ones know its been sold
http://www.seattlefabrics.com/nylons.html#white%20widow USD 17.95 (way too expensive)
2. Dyneema fabric seem to be a good material, but in one hand its really expensive and in the other its not like fashionable one

USD 19.95 (way too expensive)
2.1
some one has says that I can buy it from
http://www.owfinc.com/Fabrics/NylonW...rd.asp#Dyneema
but at that web there a lot of references and I donīt know exactly witch one is the one that might work for my project.
2.2 210d dyneema ( seems that its too thick)

3. 330d cordura ( seems that its too thick)

We think that parachute fabrics might works, but no idea, any one has try that before..
Thanks for your opinion!
Did you ever actual dyneema? I keep looking at the links listed but never find any on the sites, but maybe I am just blind
You can dye dyneema. Check out my pictures of my ULA p1 I recently dyed black. I had to go back and do it a second time (not pictured) to get it dark dark black but the spectra will not dye of course and will stay white. That's just in case you wanted a certain denier but not the color......it can always be dyed. Not sure about coatings.
Do you know what sites you can buy it at?
Thru-hiker definitely has it. http://thru-hiker.com/materials/coated.php
Most of the fabric suppliers linked above have the reputation of being very knowledgeable and helpful (I know nothing about shelby.fi, but the rest I've heard are good). I've dealt with the Rainshed and thru-hiker and they're both great.
your awesome and I must be retatrded because I thought I had searched all over that site lol thanks a bunch
Would this be strong enough to make a bridge hammock out of?
email thru-hiker.com. AYCE (mr. thru-hiker) would know.
Good deal thank you I will, and Reaid I can't tell but do you have a frame in the pack you made?
