210D HDPE Gridstop

210D HDPE Gridstop. This material is made stronger and more abrasion resistant by an HDPE fiber reinforcement grid on top of the base ripstop pattern. The HDPE grid also yields exceptional tear and tensile strength compared to similar non-HDPE reinforced pack fabrics. This fabric is waterproof/non-breathable with a PU coating on the backside.
