Za proizvajalci taktične opreme , 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.
Kaj je tkanina X-PAC?
X-PAC is a laminated composite fabric designed for high-performance applications. Its multi-layer structure includes:
Zunanji sloj : Najlon ali poliester za odpornost proti obrabi.
Srednji sloj : A waterproof polyester or polyethylene film for weather protection.
Notranji sloj : 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 v primerjavi s konkurenti: Ključni atributi za proizvajalce
We compare X-PAC to Cordura, Dyneema, and Ripstop Nylon across 5 key factors affecting production and performance.
1. Razmerje med težo in trdnostjo
Tkanina Teža (oz/yd²) Ključna prednost Najboljša aplikacija X-PAC (VX-21) 5.9 Odpornost na trganje (X-Ply) Nahrbtniki, telovniki, torbice Cordura (1000D) 10 Odpornost na obrabo Območja, ki so zelo izpostavljena obrabi (trakovi, podstavki) Dyneema (SB51) 3.5 Moč glede na težo (UHMWPE) Oprema, odporna na ureznine, oklep Ripstop Nylon (70D) 1.9 Lahka odpornost na trganje Proračunska oprema, podloge
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. Odpornost na vodo in učinkovitost proizvodnje
Tkanina Vodoodporen? Potrebni premazi? Vpliv proizvodnje X-PAC Da (filmski sloj) Ni Zmanjšanje dela/stroškov Cordura Ne PU/DWR Adds $3–5/yd in coatings Dyneema (DCF) Yes (select types) Ni Streamlined for waterproof designs Ripstop najlon Ne 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. Trajnost in skladnost
Tkanina Ključna prednost Skladnost Slabost X-PAC High tear resistance MIL-SPEC, IPX standards (configurable) Moderate abrasion resistance (improved in RX series) Cordura High abrasion resistance (ASTM D3884 ) Vojaški certifikati Težka, ni vodoodporna Dyneema Odpornost na rezanje (ISO 13997) Standardi NIJ (oklep) Visoki stroški, izzivi šivanja Ripstop najlon Stroškovno učinkovit Omejeno število certifikatov 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. Analiza stroškov
Tkanina Stroški materiala/yd Stroški dela/premazov/yd Skupni stroški/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 najlon $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. Najboljše aplikacije

Zakaj proizvajalci izbirajo X-PAC
Vgrajena hidroizolacija : X-PAC’s laminated film eliminates the need for PU or DWR coatings, reducing labor costs and the risk of coating degradation over time.
X-Ply odpornost na trganje : The cross-ply reinforcement prevents tear propagation, ensuring gear reliability in mission-critical environments.
Doslednost dobavne verige : X-PAC, produced by trusted suppliers like Dimension-Polyant , ensures uniform quality across batches, unlike generic ballistic nylons.
Lahka zasnova : At 5.9 oz/yd² (VX-21), X-PAC is nearly 50% lighter than 1000D Cordura, reducing shipping costs and improving user mobility.
Sustainability : 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.
