<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hello.</p>
Does anybody know sources for high denier (70 – 100 – 200 – 400) siliconized nylon fabrics (silnylon, sil cordura), suitable for bacpacks?

110d and Nylon 6.6. In tests done by a French Nisley at randonner-leger.org it still scored about 2000mm HH after 8 months of exposure to conditions and the tear strength seems to be on par too. I’ve read about some people trying it for backpacks with positive first impressions but long-term durability in practical use is still a question.
