Talk:Ballistic nylon

The strap in the picture (of the diving watch) is not made from ballistic nylon. It's pretty obvious that it doesn't use a basketweave.

Ballistic Nylon - A specific nylon developed by Dupont for the U.S. Department of Defense for use in flak jackets. Later it was replaced by Kevlar. The basket-weave construction helps add abrasion resistance as opposed to a plain weave. The name is used as a marketing tool with ballistic sounding like something "bulletproof" therefore really tough. Many motorcycle apparel companies us the word "Ballistic" when describing material. In many cases the material's tear and abrasion strength does not meet a minimum standard for motorcycle apparel and the word is used only as a sales gimmick. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.178.8.81 (talk • contribs) 10 September 2005

1050 denier ballistic nylon is better quality than 1680, but how does 1050 compare to 2520? Is 2520 woven with a 2-ply weave like 1050 or with a thick single yarn like 1680? Does 2520 become fuzzy as easily as 1680? If 2520 is stronger than 1050, is it just as strong for its denier weight or is it only stronger because it is much heavier? —Preceding comment added by 99.232.52.30 (talk) 22:04, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
