Fabrics we use...

SomaTX3
A 3ply laminated nylon Taslan fabric with a superior drape and handle that belies its extraordinary durability and water resistance.

Xtetra4
A multi-ply laminated nylon rip-stop with integral wear-bar pattern delivering enhanced performance in trans-surface and immersion use.

Ti Glide
Titanium coatings offer enhanced thermal properties. Nookie have taken this several leaps further with their Ti-glide coating, which is low friction for ease of use and enhanced macro-mobility. The coating has even better thermal properties than standard titanium and is easy to put on and off, hard wearing and attractive.
Nookie Ti-glide is also tape seamable which enables its use instead of latex as a seal for dry-shell type garments. Ti-glide garments and components can also limit muscle vibration which is a major source of fatigue.



Aramid Kevlar
Incredibly abrasion & tear resistant & almost never suffers a catastrophic failure - meaning that it is the best possible reinforcing material where tearing & abrasion are the main forms of damage risk. It is not stretchy or puncture resistance however, which in our view makes it unsuitable for neoprene spraydecks or the soles of shoes!

Cordura
A special kind of hi-tensile nylon. It has 2-7x abrasion resistance of ordinary nylon, polyester & cotton and is usually used for reinforcing patches on motorcycle garments.

Amara
A type of soft, stretchy synthetic suede which provides excellent grip & tactility whether wet or dry.

Bamboo Charcoal Fleece
Environmentally friendly functional yarn. It reduces heat loss more effectively than other fleeces keeping you nice & toasty. More info here

Zelcon
Is a finish for fabrics that is naturally absorbent to keep fabrics dry comfortable & anti-static.
