CHALLENGE ULTRA
Challenge ULTRA™ is the highest performing line of UHMWPE composite fabric in the world.
UHMWPE (non-branded Dyneema® or Spectra®), gram-for-gram, is 15x stronger than steel. UHMWPE is naturally UV and water-resistant while being incredibly lightweight. Our woven ULTRA™ line ranging from 100d to 800d represents the new standard in lightweight and durability.
We use for DITW bags mostly Ultra 400 PE (similar to Dyneema®) which is about 20% lighter, with four times the abrasion resistance of other 400d U-PE fabrics.
