    Sandy,

    It is still there but it has been moved to its own page on their website.

    http://www.rockywoods.com/Fabrics-Kits/All-Ripstop-Nylon-Fabrics?search=VX21

    Color choices in "Terrain" XPAC are Steel Grey, Rocket Blue, Black, Red and "Standard" XPAC in Black.

    Terrain sells for $18.99 per yard and Standard sells for $16.59 per yard. ;-(

    BTW the "Standard" is out of stock.

    Party On,

    Michael,

    The "Terrain" is VX21 and the "Standard" is VX07.

    VX07 is approximately 4.8 oz per square yard.

    VX21 is approximately 6.0 oz per square yard.

    Standard X-Pac is 70 denier double rip-stop, Nylon Black Polyester X-PLY™ at 22°,
    0.25 mil PET film, 50 denier polyester taffeta backing and DWR.

    Terrain X-Pac is 200 denier Nylon, Black Polyester X-PLY™ at 22°, 0.25 mil PET film, 50 denier polyester taffeta backing and DWR.

    Info is from the DP Outdoor Material Guide 2011.

    Party On,

    Newton

    Hi Brad,

    I PM'd you with my email address.

    Send me your email address and I'll send the guide to you as an attachment.

    I have it saved in my drafts just waiting for your email address.

    Party On,

    Unfortunately, you can no longer get Xpac direct from DP unless you can meet a 50 yd minimum. It was previously 10 yds or you paid a small cut fee. I found it considerably cheaper going direct.

    Wow that is a significant increase in price! A while back when I order Kiwi, Blue and Black I think it was a little over $10

    Bummer
