so much stronger than the lightest grid fabrics. The gray is a
darker gray than the 100 gray and is referred to as 'Gravel'.

colors.

Full
Spectra - This is our
best fabric for building tough yet reasonably light packs. The
fabric is UV resistent ( Ultra Fabrics are also UV resistant ).
Keep your pack construction simple and it ends up pretty light.
This is a 3.5 oz full spectra weave laminated to a layer 1.5 oz
Non-Woven Dyneema Composite for waterproofness, structural stability,
and extra strength...... 5.5 oz / yard final weight. Gray
and white dyes only. This triples pack base prices.
Partial Spectra packs can be made however. Dye colors are gray
and white only. For a much more economical pack we are using mostly
Challenge fabrics now.
Hybrid Composite
Dyneema - We have a number of
weights in stock up to the weight of X Grid fabric - mostly about
4 oz/yd. The excess fabric price is $35.00/yd
.....2 yd minimum. .
Spectra 'Grid' w 140 high tenacity nylon 3.8 oz/yd
- 1/4" grid: Gray color. This is a very nice fabric for the
lightest packs. Challenge 100, and 200 are stronger though, and
lighter.
Spectra X
Grid / 4.8 oz/square yd dark gray. The
6 colors are Powder Blue, Morocan Blue excess
DIY price is $20.00/yd - blue only, OD Camo Green, Lime
Green, Orange, Dark Gray, Black. There is no extra charge for
using X-Grid fabrics in packs.

400D Grid Black
- This is a very nice fabric very similar in weight to 500
cordura ( 6 to 7 oz./yard ) but with a tight smooth finish like
X Grid. Like 500 Cordura, it is quite strong even without the
white Grid. This is a very nice fabric for slightly heavier than
medium weight packs for somebody that does not want to sacrifice
durability.
Spectra Grid / 500D
Cordura 1/4" grid - black - 7.4 oz/yd -
630 high tenacity fabric:
Black, with a slight brownish bear-like
tint. Used for non-Spectra extra tough bottoms. 1000D
weight yet smooth like 420. - 9 oz/yd
Below: an example of Dyed Full Spectra.
All of our Full Spectra Fabrics can be custom dyed........ gray
and white only.
