Darlington mesh or similar stretch mesh supplier

[Don Burton]

I’ve been looking for the stretch mesh fabric that Gossamer Gear, Opsrey, REI… use for their outside front pocket. I also emailed GG the question a while ago. They said it was a proprietary fabric from Darlington Fabrics. It may be a little different but essentially it’s the same as a lot of pack manufacturers use. The stretch mesh that GG uses to hold the back/sit pad is different. Not as durable. I’ve been able to find that type everywhere. Too bad that’s not the one I want.

Any idea where I can buy some?

I’ve used the Lycra Mesh from Quest Outfitters. It stretches very well (4 way), but is a little heavier than the mesh on the front pocket of my ULA OHM 2.0.
