Hi i just received a sample of Coated Kevlar Protective Patch and first impression is awesome material !
and i bought because some specifications like "strong", "cleanable", "waterproof", "easily cleaned" ...
i would like to know about the resistance to wind ... if its "waterproof" means that its "windproof" too ?

Thanks !!!

The material has a sealed rubberised coating. I see no reason why wind would cut through it.

thanks fast answering me !!!

i am trying to have a short compare between "Cordura" and "Kevlar"

Cordura is made of nylon is very resistant to rough conditions like extremely and long-lasting use ... tear, "scuff resistant" (windproof) and waterproof and depending on finishing. 

As both materials is "strong" i am watching more for the combination of 2 important attributes to compare :

1) strength to weight (g/m2) ratio 
2) "scuff resistant" (windproof)

any more opinion and informations i will appreciate  !

I have spent quite a bit of time walking on glaciers (Used to be my job, as a geologist and glaciologist)

And yes... Heavyweight "Cordura" is a strong fabric, and has ocassionally saved the inside of my legs from the crampon points, while wearing Cordura/Goretex Gaiters ..

It can not, however, be even compared to high quality kevlar fabrics, like the EC coated stuff or the "Scholler Keprotec" used in some mountaineering and motorbiking safety equipment or clothing.

Cordura is by no means as cut-resistant as kevlar-fabric --- not even close .... Whistling   Both fabric types are not water or windproof in themselves, they need some sort of lining or coating to become wind and /or waterproof ... Generally speaking, if something is waterproof, it will certainly also be very "wind-proof"

The EC coated Kevlar fabric is not "breathable", it is a heavy rubberized coating.   A lot of the mountaineering Cordura or Kevlar fabrics have "breathable" membranes, like "Goretex" or similar membranes that will allow water vapour to escape, but not liquid water to get through from the outside.

Oh, and I completely forgot ... Kevlar /Aramide fabrics are fireproof too ... only the coatings or binders in it will burn..  Cordura melts quite easily .. This is a problem in motorcycle protective clothing, as a longish slide along the tarmac can (will ) melt the fibres ...

"Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW!

Hello out there!
I am currently hunting for a material to patch the inside cuffs of ski pants and I'm considering
-400g Coated Kevlar Protective Patch Material from EC 
-Schoeller Keprotec Kevlar Fabric (weight unknown)

If anyone has experience with one or both of these, I'd really appreciate hearing what the differences are especially with respect to:
-Cut resistance (ski edges)
-Workability (cutting, sewing, foldability for edges)
-Tendency to fray at raw edges
-Waterproofness
-Any other factors that might be applicable to my intended use

Thanks in advance.
Saul.

Hi Saul,

I’m afraid we don’t have any experience of the Keprotec product but if you have any specific questions on our patch material then I’m happy to answer.

Another option would be to purchase a small sample of the material (we do a small swatch for just £0.50) which you could buy to have a look a look and feel of without really committing much to it.

All the best,

Matt

Found the swatch and was going to put one on order but the cheapest shipping option to Canada is over
£9.  I would think that this could be sent in a regular letter for alot less than this.  Like £1.35?  Is there a way to get a sample shipped via regular letter mail in a standard envelope?

Hi, OK, that does sound like way too much because yes, it can go in an envelope. I’ll need our technical staff to to check the website shipping calculator. I’ll message you on here as soon as it’s been corrected. Thanks for pointing this out.
