Coated packcloth, used on the bottom of a Vaude Rock Ultralight Comfort 25. I like the durability–has held up to 3 years daily around town use with little wear. Considering it for MYOG pack project. Anyone know brand name or source?

Thanks Newton–should have thought to look at Vaude specs. Looks like there's a couple places that sell 400 D coated diamond ripstop, but no 210 D.
David,
This is close but no diamonds. ;-(

I purchased the Tan double ripstop fabric from rocky woods it not the same fabric in the photo. I was not real happy with the tan fabric 210 double ripstop it has some kind of reflective thread woven in the ripstop part of the fabric. I was told by rocky woods the U.S. military used it for tents,tarps,covers for vehicles. I think the tread is way to reflect the sun rays away in the the hot Iraq sun.
