Due to its light weight and water-resistant nature, applications include bags, satchels, backpacks, and camping applications. It comes in black, white, royal blue, yellow and red.

420 Denier Nylon
Very similar to the 210 denier nylon, 420 denier nylon is appropriate to use for bags, satchels and backpacks. Its weight is 160gsm, making it slightly thicker than the 210 denier nylon and therefore slightly more durable and sturdy, whilst still being waterproof. 420 denier nylon is available In the below colourways!

PY500 Polyester
PV500 is the lightest of the two polyester options available, weighing 220gsm. Our polyester range is Water resistant, Fire retardant and UV stabilised. The main difference between our nylon range and polyester range is that the nylon outperforms the polyester in the waterproof category. With that said, the polyester has the added benefit of fire retardance and UV capabilities. Applications include protective covers, laundry bags, as well as bags, satchels, and camping applications. Colours include black, white, navy, maroon, royal blue and yellow.

PY600 Polyester
PY600 Polyester is ideal for medium scale applications, and the main difference between PY500 and PY600 is the rip-resistant nature of PY600.
