CORDURA | Materials breakdown
CORDURA is nylon-based fabric ideal for military and law enforcement clothing and gear. Sixteen separate products make up the CORDURA range, which extends from a featherweight material to one heavy enough for use in body armour. Among CORDURA’s most deterministic features is its high “durability per weight” index. CORDURA is typically added to garments at positions most likely to be subjected to intense wear-and-tear, such as knees, instep, belt loops, and pockets. CORDURA has three main competitors: schoeller-keprotec, carbon fibre textiles, and ceramic dots. Thanks to ongoing innovation, CORDURA is likely to continue as a leading favorite of producers of military and LE apparel and gear.
