Venom™ UL Stretch Mesh Eco Abrasion, Cut Resistant - Ripstop by

By A Mystery Man Writer

Not all stretch mesh is created equal. Standard stretch mesh fabrics are made out of basic nylon or polyester, with some elastic thrown in to provide the stretch. This is fine and works well, but like everything else, there's always a way to turn "standard" into something far better. Venom™ UL Stretch Mesh is different for two reasons: 1. Nylon 6.6 vs Nylon 6 - Instead of the more common nylon 6, we start with a base of high-tenacity nylon 6.6. This costs more, but makes the fabric stronger and more abrasion resistant. It also helps the fabric to retain its shape over time as it gets stretched over and over. 2. Ultra PE (UHMWPE) ripstop - Using an Ultra PE ripstop grid increases the abrasion resistance even further, while also making the fabric cut resistant - think sharp rocks and pointy things. Lastly, at a weight of just 5.0 oz/yd2, it's the lightest, most durable stretch mesh that we offer. If you want a high-end, technical stretch fabric built for applications that require maximum durability and cut resistance, this is your choice. Typical uses include backpack pockets, clothing (jackets/pants/etc) pockets, gear bags, etc. *Note that this fabric is sold in 1/2 yd increments to help reduce cost for smaller projects. Please enter a whole number of half yards in the box up top. For example, if you want 7 yds total, enter "14" in the half yard box.
