Cuben Fiber forn China?

If I had the sewing skills to make my own packs and pouches, I would give them a try. Prices aren't prohibitive… and in any case, you aren't using these unknowns to make parachutes, right?

I think the cost per yard (meter) is wonderful. But the minimum order is really big. Like 100 meters.

Im posting here looking for guidance from anyone and perhaps letting the manufacturer know that if we can determine the stuff is good for tents and packs: they have a market.

Ill post any progress.

Out of interest I followed the link.

I must be missing something obvious but I couldn't see any Cuben fibre productthat would be useful to a BPL member?

I could only see 2 products – one had a PTFE coating and the minimum weight was 140g/sqm (4.25oz/sq yd), the other fabric (labelled'wear resisting')had a minimum weight of 80 g/sqm (2.4oz/sq yd). Neither looked like Cuben Fibre as we know it.

Wow it looks like Alibabas pages shift

John. your link just takes me to the last product I referred to?

Sorry Mole:

Yes it looks like a product that is called Cuben. But is another duck all together.
