It can be a battlefield out there. Now you’re ready.
The comfort and aesthetics of wool
with the durability of nylon
CORDURA® Combat Wool™ fabrics have the authentic
look, comfort and feel of traditional 100% Merino
wool fabrics with built-in long-lasting durability.
Woven fabrics constructed with an intimate blend of nylon and Merino
wool offer up to 10X better abrasion resistance, 2.1X better tensile
and 1.4X better tear resistance vs 100% Merino wool fabrics while
maintaining the same look and feel.*
CORDURA® Combat Wool™ knit and sock fabrics constructed with
intimate blends of Merino wool and INVISTA nylon 6,6 staple fibers
also offer enhanced tear and abrasion resistance.
CORDURA® Combat Wool™ fabrics feature the tradition and comfort
of wool and the heritage of the CORDURA® brand which has proven
performance in some of the world’s toughest environments.
CORDURA® Combat Wool™ fabric - Woven
vs 100% Merino Wool fabric
Working with CORDURA® Combat Wool™
is fantastic because of its robust
nature in holding shape. Stretch woven
CORDURA® Combat Wool™ is a lighterweight ripstop and more diverse fabric
than other wool fabrics. The surprising
aspect of CORDURA® Combat Wool™ was
its ability to stretch like a dense fleece
while maintaining a great recovery.
