Polyamide (Nylon) is a synthetic fiber creating extraordinarily strong and versatile fabrics with high abrasion resistance, very good resilience to wear and tear, and a high breaking extension. Retina® fabrics are based on polyamides but geared toward use in backpacks, which places different requirements on the fabrics. As opposed to fabrics made for apparel, the focus here is heavy wear and strength. Breathability is of less importance, so we often use a PU coating or a TPU laminate on the inside as wall. The polyamides we use are derived from recycled, bio-feedstock and virgin sources. Please see ‘Polyamide’ for more info about the different choices regarding the origin of our Retina® fabrics. Hardur®: - Hardur® is our Aramid (Kevlar® fibers) reinforced fabric. In our stretch Hardur® the Aramide (Kevlar® fibers), an extra strong version of Polyamide, are woven together with elastic fibers, which results in an exceptionally durable fabric, with exceptional stretch and softness. Aramide (Kevlar® fibers) is made from para-aramid fibers. Since invented in 1965, these fibers have been used in a wide range of functions and applications. Aramid fibers remains unsurpassed for ensuring durability as well as functionality in garments and apparel exposed to high amounts of wear and abrasion. Typical applications are cuffs, knee pads and backpack bottoms. Regular Hardur® fiber is used for fixed shape wear protection, and Stretch Hardur® fiber for pants, jackets and other equipment, where it offers protection without impeding movement or flexibility.
