Cordura
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cordura is the registered name of a certified nylon fabric from INVISTA. It is used in a wide range of products from luggage and backpacks to boots, military apparel (such as tactical blade sheaths) and performance apparel.
It is designed to be long lasting and resistant to abrasions, tears and scuffs.
Prior to 1966, the name Cordura referred to a strengthened version of rayon, which was used in tires and other uses. When nylon was developed and proved superior, the Cordura brand was transferred to refer to the nylon product instead.
