Geelong VIC Windproof nylon OzCam fabric

Sun 11 Sep, 2016 2:27 pm

Cecile saw this and bought it as we were thinking that Simon could use it to boost his business on the military side but unfortunately we purchased before he got in touch with us and he doesn't need it at this time.
So we need to move it on quickly
It is substantial fabric, windproof and slick not sure about DWR tho but it feels like it has some sort of treatment
~90GSM and 1600mm wide and on our scales is ~150grams per linear metre
Not exactly ultralite stuff but very strong and robust and I'd say excellent for heavy duty windproof smocks etc

Will post in a standard business sized envelope or satchel depending on weight and bulk
Need to move it on quickly tho so cheap as
$3- a metre plus postage
Mens Extra Large would need between 3 and 4 metres depending on hood and pocket design
Substantial discount for bulk purchases

Looks good. Might be interested. Just a question, is this the stuff you got for $2 a metre mentioned in another thread? Cheers

No That was the Goretex although I'd be happy to sell some of that too but I'd like to make a small profit on the WPB if you don't mind

We are going to be making 25 cents a metre profit on this to pay for the petrol used when shopping

Funny stuff this fabric
The more I play with it the more I think it may actually be EPIC, GSM is about right for that
It doesn't melt or burn like normal polyester or nylon, melts more slowly and burns slowly too with a strange acrid smell.
If it is then even better for windproofs

GTL if you want a sample PM me your address and I'll put a swatch in the mail [100*100mm] same for anybody else who is thinking of buying any.
I'm going to use some of it for a hooded blanket using Thinsulate

Hi Moondog, I might be interested in both the windproof nylon and Gortex material. Is there a chance you could send me a message. I am new to this forum and don't have access to sending messages yet.
