navy nylon fabric
Few fabrics work as hard as navy nylon fabric. The deep, dark blue hides scuffs and stains, pairs with almost any hardware or trim, and looks sharp on everything from backpacks to rain shells. Nylon itself is lightweight, strong and quick to dry, which is why sewists reach for it whenever a project needs to stand up to daily use.
Popular Uses for Navy Nylon
- Bags and packs: totes, backpacks, pouches and organizers
- Outerwear: windbreakers, jacket shells and linings
- Outdoor gear: tarps, stuff sacks, covers and pet accessories
What to Look For
Weave and Weight
Navy ripstop nylon uses a grid of reinforced threads to keep small tears from spreading, making it a favorite for lightweight gear. Heavier navy nylon pack cloth offers more body and abrasion resistance for bags and other hard-wearing projects.
Coatings and Finish
For rainwear or protective covers, choose a water resistant nylon fabric or navy coated nylon. Check each listing for the coating type and whether the material is breathable, since coatings affect both comfort and how the fabric sews.
