Dimension-Polyant, a global leader in sailcloth production and the creator of X-Pac® laminates designed for packs and bags, is addressing the growing demand among tactical operators, first responders, and shooting sports enthusiasts by introducing their latest innovation, X-Pac® Tactical Fabrics.
Developed with Tyra Technology®, these fabrics provide higher quality and performance materials for safeguarding valuable tactical equipment during transit and in the field. They are lightweight, durable, and waterproof, hence being ideal for professional operators seeking peak performance in harsh environments.
Tyra Technology® is one of the most advanced innovation of spread filament fiber efficiency. It ensures exceptionally lightweight yet incredibly strong laminates by expertly aligning and orienting each filament. This maximizes their contribution to load carrying, tear resistance, and puncture toughness, reducing excess weight and enhancing overall performance.
