What is Ballistic Nylon...

[xoomboy]

Okay, last fencing anecdote, I promise!

Kevlar jackets came out for a little while, and we all thought they were the greatest things in the world....until we started to wash our uniforms.

It appears that chlorine bleach breaks down Kevlar pretty darn quickly. Again, Ballistic Nylon, IMO, is the wonder-fabric. It can really take a beating!

Originally developed for use in bulletproof vests, genuine American-made 1050 denier nylon is one of the toughest fabrics in the world. While some luggage manufacturers have tried to imitate this fabric, the american-made Allied Signal Fibers Tru-Ballistic 1050 denier fabric meets U.S. Military Specification #MIL-C-12369F-GL
