Pre výrobcovia taktického výstroja , choosing the right fabric impacts product performance, compliance, and profitability. X-PAC fabric has emerged as a popular choice, but how does it compare to industry standards like Cordura, Dyneema, and Ripstop Nylon?
This guide compares these materials across key factors to help you make informed decisions for your production needs.
Čo je tkanina X-PAC?
X-PAC is a laminated composite fabric designed for high-performance applications. Its multi-layer structure includes:
Vonkajšia vrstva : Nylon alebo polyester pre odolnosť proti oderu.
Stredná vrstva : A waterproof polyester or polyethylene film for weather protection.
Vnútorná vrstva : X-Ply reinforcement (cross-ply polyester or Vectran® threads) for tear resistance.
This construction delivers built-in waterproofing, strong tear resistance, and a lightweight profile, making X-PAC suitable for tactical gear like backpacks, vests, and pouches where durability and weight are key considerations.
X-PAC vs. konkurencia: Kritické atribúty pre výrobcov
We compare X-PAC to Cordura, Dyneema, and Ripstop Nylon across 5 key factors affecting production and performance.
1. Pomer hmotnosti a pevnosti
Tkanina Hmotnosť (oz/yd²) Kľúčová sila Najlepšia aplikácia X-PAC (VX-21) 5.9 Odolnosť proti roztrhnutiu (X-Ply) Batohy, vesty, vrecká Cordura (1000D) 10 Odolnosť proti oderu Oblasti s vysokým opotrebovaním (popruhy, základne) Dyneema (SB51) 3.5 Pomer pevnosti k hmotnosti (UHMWPE) Výstroj odolná proti porezaniu, pancier Ripstop Nylon (70D) 1.9 Odolnosť proti roztrhnutiu pri nízkej hmotnosti Rozpočtový výstroj, vložky
X-PAC offers an excellent balance of low weight and high tear resistance, ideal for most tactical gear. Pair it with Cordura in high-abrasion areas for hybrid designs.
2. Odolnosť voči vode a efektívnosť výroby
Tkanina Vodotesné? Potrebné nátery? Vplyv na výrobu X-PAC Áno (filmová vrstva) Žiadne Zníženie nákladov na prácu Cordura Nie PU/DWR Adds $3–5/yd in coatings Dyneema (DCF) Yes (select types) Žiadne Streamlined for waterproof designs Ripstop nylon Nie DWR Requires frequent reapplication
X-PAC and Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF) offer built-in waterproofing, eliminating the need for additional coatings, which reduces manufacturing costs and defect risks compared to Cordura and Ripstop Nylon.
3. Trvanlivosť a súlad
Tkanina Kľúčová výhoda Dodržiavanie predpisov Slabina X-PAC High tear resistance MIL-SPEC, IPX standards (configurable) Moderate abrasion resistance (improved in RX series) Cordura High abrasion resistance (ASTM D3884 ) Certifikáty vojenskej úrovne Ťažký, nie je vodotesný Dyneema Odolnosť proti prerezaniu (ISO 13997) Normy NIJ (pancier) Vysoké náklady, výzvy na šitie Ripstop nylon Nákladovo efektívne Obmedzené certifikácie Lower durability
X-PAC can be configured to meet MIL-SPEC and IPX standards, making it suitable for contracts requiring certified tear resistance and waterproofing. Recent advancements, like the RX series, improve its abrasion resistance.
4. Analýza nákladov
Tkanina Náklady na materiál/yd Náklady na prácu/nátery/yd Celkové náklady/yd X-PAC $22-25 $0 $22-25 Cordura + PU $12-15 $3-5 $15-20 Dyneema $60-70 $8-10 (specialized sewing) $68-80 Ripstop nylon $6-8 $2-3 $8-11
X-PAC’s total cost is comparable to Cordura with coatings but offers simpler production and fewer defects. Dyneema is significantly more expensive, while Ripstop Nylon remains the most budget-friendly.
5. Najlepšie aplikácie

Prečo si výrobcovia vyberajú X-PAC
Zabudovaná hydroizolácia : X-PAC’s laminated film eliminates the need for PU or DWR coatings, reducing labor costs and the risk of coating degradation over time.
Odolnosť proti roztrhnutiu materiálu X-Ply : The cross-ply reinforcement prevents tear propagation, ensuring gear reliability in mission-critical environments.
Konzistentnosť dodávateľského reťazca : X-PAC, produced by trusted suppliers like Dimension-Polyant , ensures uniform quality across batches, unlike generic ballistic nylons.
Ľahký dizajn : At 5.9 oz/yd² (VX-21), X-PAC is nearly 50% lighter than 1000D Cordura, reducing shipping costs and improving user mobility.
Udržateľnosť : Newer X-PAC variants, such as those with recycled polyester, align with growing demands for sustainable manufacturing. Cordura also offers recycled options, but X-PAC’s streamlined production reduces environmental impact.
Modern Manufacturing Advantages
X-PAC’s composite structure is compatible with advanced techniques like laser cutting, which improves precision and reduces waste in production. This is valuable for high-volume orders requiring consistent quality.
