Cordura

CORDURA® fabric is what many of the most respected brands, retailers and militaries around the world use when they need to make a product that’s durable, versatile and reliable. Constructed using high tenacity fiber technologies, weight for weight, CORDURA® fabrics are exceptionally durable. Fact is, no matter the application, our fabrics are “best-in-class.” But more importantly, they have to pass our own stringent test criteria before they can earn the CORDURA® brand name. They’re available in a wide range of weights – from ultra lightweight to heavy weight. And CORDURA® fabrics come in many different constructions and textures. All in all, they’re the fabrics that make strong, long-lasting products even tougher in several categories - from outdoor gear and workwear to luggage, military and upholstery.

For more than 30 years, CORDURA® fabrics have been selected by makers of high performance gear and apparel where durability counts.

It began in 1977 with the launch of CORDURA® brand 1000-denier air-jet textured nylon 6,6 yarns – a remarkably durable, yet practical fabric. Just a year later, JanSport® chose CORDURA® fabrics for their new line of daypacks. Giving the CORDURA® brand fabric line instant credibility. The rest, as they say, is history.

Today, you’ll find CORDURA® fabrics in many top brands that are known for making tough, long-lasting products. In fact, CORDURA® fabrics are trusted by many militaries around the globe.

Over the years, the CORDURA® brand team has introduced and perfected a wide-range of versatile fabrics. From the classic air-jet textured nylons to ultra-lightweight high tenacity nylon and polyester fabrics, all of our fabrics are considered best-in-class for durability and performance.

The future for INVISTA’s CORDURA® brand looks brighter than ever as it continues to expand into new categories. Which is no surprise. After all, engineering innovative fabrics is woven deeply into the CORDURA® brand DNA.
