"We continue to react to consumer feedback and expand our fabric offerings to add versatility to our portfolio and leading brands’ end-use products," said Cindy McNaull, global CORDURA® brand and marketing director. "The addition of CORDURA® TPX fabric provides gear with enhanced durability and a waterproof finish, while the new CORDURA® 4EVERTM Flannel fabric offers a lightweight and comfortable alternative to traditional flannels."
CORDURA® TPX Fabric
CORDURA® TPX fabric is ideal for products in the outdoor and military/tactical industries that need added durability in a lightweight construction. It is also well suited for travel gear like luggage and duffle bags. The fabric is designed to provide enhanced tear strength and abrasion resistance, as well as a waterproof finish.
According to Mark Chen, business manager at Chang Ho, "driven by a demand for lighter and lighter weight products, laminates are becoming increasingly popular option for today's clothing and equipment. Another benefit is the ability to combine materials with different characteristics to maximize the advantages of each. So when we were asked often: 'what material is better and stronger than our current CORDURA® bag and pack fabric offerings,' CORDURA® TPX technology was our answer."
CORDURA® TPX fabric will be on display as part of the CORDURA® + Brown Buffalo Capsule Collection - a bag and pack collaboration created for OR Show.
CORDURA® 4EVERTM Flannel Fabric
CORDURA® 4EVERTM Flannel fabric is designed with the multi-functional lifestyle in mind. Combining abrasion resistance, soft comfort, and warmth, it is made to be both stylish and durable in cooler temperatures. The fabric is ideal for use in shirts, shirt jackets and coat lining for applications like camping, hunting, and climbing.
"To meet the increasing demand for cross-functional products, CORDURA® 4EVERTM Flannel fabric was designed to not only be comfortable, but versatile and reliable enough to wear on any adventure," said Chase Wong from Chia Her. "With its multiple weight and color options, this fabric combines fashion and function to create garments that are timeless, go-to pieces."
