Performance Wear Featherweight
Materials for High Performance Use
Super Lightweight Nylon-66
Our Super Lightweight Nylon-66 is the fabric of choice when
weight is a concern. This high tenacity fabric is stronger
and softer than Nylon-6 and has a higher melting point, which
improves colorfastness and allows for more durable seam seals.
Moisture absorption
Nylon-66 absorbs and dispels moisture more smoothly than polyester
for improved comfort.
Melting Point
The melting point of Nylon-66 is 40°C higher than Nylon-6,
which provides more leeway during twisting and other high
temperature processes. Moreover, no special dyeing methods
are required to obtain brilliant colors that do not run.
Compression
Nylon-66 is incredibly soft and conforms to your movements
like a second skin.
Abrasion
Nylon-66 is exceptionally smooth and supple, for frictionless
performance and superb abrasion resistance.
Super Lightweight Nylon-66 Applications:
Down jackets
Sleeping bags
Hollow Yarns
Our Hollow Yarn fabrics are 30 percent lighter than they appear
while maintaining durability, which makes them perfect for
lightweight garments that need to look heavy and rugged. Constructed
with nylon or polyester, the air trapped in the fibers helps
improve the fabricís insulating characteristics. Hollow yarn
fabrics can be treated with our waterproof/breathable coatings
and laminates.
Hollow Yarns Applications:
Snowboarding
Skiing
Mountaineering
