Antone know where you can buy sil-nylon in the UK?

Give us his e mail address because I could do with some of that.

There's pretty much two fabric suppliers online in this country.

PointNorth on Anglesey and Penine Outdoor in North Yorkshire.

Both should be able to supply what you need.

I've used both the above and they are both excellent.

If you have a specialised requirement, pointnorth also often have additional fabrics that aren't on their website - eg 0.6oz silnylon (standard is 1.5-2oz). That said, in my experience anything less than 1oz tends not to stay waterproof.

If you need samples, its worth trying to get them to send through off-cuts as samples, rather than the tiny 2cmx2cm squares that aren't large enough to test for strength or waterproofing.

Podcast Bob should be able to point you in the right direction.

what you making Bad wolf?

i asked pointnorth for some dyneema gridstop fabric, they didn't respond! and ive been unable to get my hands on any.

ive had other bits and pieces from pointnorth with no problems.

Nothing special, I need a new pack liner and thought a silnylon one would be a better bet than a ripstop and lighter plus I want to add a couple of pockets to the hipbelt on my pack and thought the silnylon would be waterprooof enough for this.
