Tents, backpacks, jackets and other outdoor products have strict requirements on the selection of fabrics, which must meet durability, functionality, and camouflage effects. The following introduces the types of camouflage fabrics commonly used in these three types of equipment and their characteristics according to their uses:
1. Commonly used camouflage fabrics for tents
Polyester Oxford cloth (such as 600D, 900D)
Features: high strength, wear resistance, and good tear resistance. Waterproofness is often enhanced by PVC or PU coating.
Advantages: moderate cost, suitable for large-scale use. The printing process is mostly thermal transfer or coating camouflage.
Applicable camouflage patterns: woodland camouflage, desert camouflage, digital woodland, etc.
Polyester Taffeta
Features: light and thin, easy to store, mostly used for inner tents or sunshade layers.
Disadvantages: poor tear resistance, not suitable for harsh environments.
Nylon tear-resistant cloth (such as 210D nylon tear-resistant cloth)
Features: lightweight and durable, with good wind and rain resistance.
Applicable scenarios: tactical tents, camping camouflage nets, etc.
2. Common camouflage fabrics for backpacks
Polyester Oxford cloth (600D/900D/1000D)
Widely used: commonly used for backpack bodies, with a strong structure and not easy to deform.
Coating type: PU or PVC adhesive is mostly used to enhance stiffness and waterproofness.
Nylon CORDURA (such as 500D, 1000D)
Features: super wear-resistant and tear-resistant, it is a common material for high-end tactical backpacks.
Advantages: moderate weight and long service life.
Combined with camouflage patterns: mostly digital camouflage, military version Multicam, etc.
Camouflage TPU composite fabric
Structure: a composite camouflage layer between the cloth surface and the TPU film, with both wear resistance and waterproof performance.
Suitable for high-end military police or special-purpose backpacks.
3. Common camouflage fabrics for jackets
Polyester four-way stretch or polyester/nylon composite softshell (Softshell)
Features: It has a certain elasticity and is comfortable to wear. The outer layer is windproof and waterproof, and the inner layer is brushed for warmth.
Printing technology: Common digital printing or thermal sublimation printing.
TPU composite fabric (polyester/nylon + TPU film)
Advantages: It is both waterproof and breathable, suitable for mid-to-high-end jackets.
The camouflage has good expression and can achieve camouflage patterns with clear details.
Alova or polar fleece camouflage cloth
Use: Used as an inner lining, with a warming function.
Surface feel: Soft and comfortable, with strong visual appeal, suitable for hunting clothing.
