Cheap WPB fabric notification

Thu 12 Mar, 2015 9:31 am

I found this fabric on Gumtree while looking for something else
It is New Zealand camouflage WPB that looks like eVent
I told Simon about it but he has to pass due to the large quantity involved

Moderately heavy by todays UL standards but a good weight for over pants and cagoules and bivvy sacks IMO

It's possible that the seller may be willing to negotiate on price if some-one was able to take all of the fabric as he has 3+ roll ends to sell
I do not have anywhere near that amount of money and anyway 5 meters would be as much as I could use
Seller will not sell by the meter, I asked.

Not cheap but Spotlight stores have the same eVent fabric in OzCam for $19- a metre also some Australian Navy camo in cordura same price They are also asking the same $19- a metre for the UL 1ounce windproof fabric

Hey MD I notice this is still for sale on Gumtree. Have you checked out the fabric yourself?

Yes i have
It's a 3 layer laminate which I assume is eVent as that's what the Kiwis are using
The seller was not interested in selling by the meter
it isn't UL fabric but HD stuff and in clean rolled condition
