reflective fabric source

Post by dreamingdog » Mon Jun 05, 2006 10:53 am

Check out seattlefabrics.com, then go to coated & uncoated nylon, then cruise the list. There are 2 or 3 reflective fabrics they offer. Listen to this tempting description -

1.3 oz. Heat and Solar Reflective Ripstop
1.3 oz. per sq. yard. A tightly constructed ripstop weave with a metalized urethane/silicone coating on each side. Very light weight plus heat and solar reflective. Perfect for tents in hot climates where staying cool is necessary or cold climates where staying warm is necessary. This fabric will both reflect heat away or inwards.

Sign me up! I very fortunatly live near this store. It's great! Toggles & webbing & fleece & every outdoor fabric you could imagine.
