All fabrics are made within a sustainable framework, where both fibers and chemistry used are meeting Oeko-Tex Standard 100 class 2, and where the production is being done in an Oeko-Tex STeP certified facility.”

NyCo (nylon-cotton blend) is a material commonly used to manufacture tactical gear. What makes it so well-suited to this application is combining the best that each of the two base fibers offers. Nylon brings excellent durability and more to the mix, while cotton brings comfort plus other excellent qualities.





There are clearcut benefits of making nylon part of the NyCo blend:
• Great color-retention
• High abrasion-resistance
• Durability
• High shear-strength
• No-melt/no-drip achievability
