Whats the difference between Cordura® and Ballistic?
The difference is mostly cosmetic, both materials provide maximum durability. Our Ballistic and Cordura® fabrics are selected for their superior strength, abrasion resistance, and color retention compared to less-expensive, less-robust polyester fabrics. Both fabrics consist of high-performance, 100-percent nylon and are back-coated with polyurethane waterproofing. The Ballistic has a higher sheen, brighter colors and a smoother surface. Cordura® has a finer weave and matte finish, for a traditional, more rugged look. In sum, your selection is largely a matter of personal style.
