What's the best fabric? How to make bags Episode05

[@SewMuchBlack]

Nice video! Didnt know about the ballistic fabrics yet, will ask a researcher at our university for further information, since she researched military specified gear. Nylon 66.6 does not equal cordura. Nylon 6.6 is a specific type of polymer (two molecules with 6 carbon atoms condensating together while losing water), and that is of course used for textile fibers, but also the Fidlock buckles are made of nylon in some of their versions. Cordura is a fiber that is treated extra; as far as I know they cut the fiber and re-spin it to give it extra strength, but this is just what I have heard and no official information by Invista (the company which produces cordura). Generally you can separate fibers into two categories (natural and synthetic), and in the realm of synthetic there are different polymerisation techniques. the spun fiber then gets made into a fabric - and there are wovens, knits and nonwovens (like membranes or felts). The combination of the material, the fiber type, and the fabric type together with additional treatments (DWR treatment, flame retardancy and other processes added to the textile) makes for a very compley system where you can adjust many variables to tailor your textile specifically to the needs and use cases.

Fantastic explanation. Roi should have his own channel! What a smart guy

[@Youknowthebo]

Agreed. Roi is great. I have learned a lot

[@ogotuwaobuto5366]

That was great. I was really confused about all the different D designations for fabrics before.

[@bikecommuter24]

You could do a video a day on Textiles and Fabrics and never stop. Wait until you start digging into MilSpec, etc.

[@hamadali-th7ty]

Really learned a lot thanks

[@ktmansfield1016]

I am learning so much from these! This is great!

[@Youknowthebo]

Thank you. Awesome to hear that you find these informative

[@MrFlex-eq3sg]

Thank you so much

[@mattritscher1930]

Loved this Video. Thanks Bo!

[@Youknowthebo]

Thanks, Matt. ✌️😉

[@FlashbackPhotogallerys]

This information is very helpful for me to thank you so much for sharing with us. even I would like to sell my own company bags for carrying camera accessories. will they give custom design for that? I have also some reference design bags also

[@kidbach]

what contributes to a fabric's waterproofness or water/weather resistance? it's gonna be a great backpack buying cycle when your subscribers go to purchase new bags armed with the info Roi is providing.

[@Youknowthebo]

Water resistance and proofing is a pretty big topic and I wasn't able to cover it properly unfortunately. Hopefully I can go into it in the future

[@123pathTube]

@@Youknowthebo yes, would like to see that video

[@advaapel8677]

Thanks, super interesting! But I was looking forward to know what is the actual difference between polyester and nylon, bag making and buying wise. Thanks :)

[@kidbach]

same.

[@ogotuwaobuto5366]

I believe polyester is a weaker fabric than nylon. Maxpedition and Vanquest used 1000d nylon, cheaper copies of their popular bags, commonly made in China, are generally made of polyester.

[@yashkanbargi]

Thank you for these videos. Found them very helpful

[@Youknowthebo]

Thanks for watching 😉 ✌️

[@patmcgibbon2496]

great videos Bo. Did you share the name of this outsource company in Indonesia? If so can you share? and what is the name of the Individual who shared that info. Thanks for doing this.

[@Youknowthebo]

Thanks. The company is Tas Indo. And I interviewed Roi

[@TAWNdidthat]

Needed this.

[@akbarcollection]

In semarang, indonesia manufacturing right?

[@hamadali-th7ty]

Their was other explanation at the right side of the board which we missed it may be

[@monicahorsburgh9263]

How many metres of fabric is needed for one bag?

[@arthurnixcontractor2818]

So does Ridgebake make bags for bag companies? I see on the web they have a bags they sell.

[@Youknowthebo]

Hey Arthur. Ridgebake makes their own bags. They recently made a cool gaming backpack. However, due to the nature of these videos and the fact that I am not a gamer (or just a casual gamer) I decided not to review that bag. Tasindo is the factory and they make bags for brands like Ridgebake, boundary supply, Timbuk2 and code of bell for instance

[@arthurnixcontractor2818]

@@Youknowthebo I noticed on one of the testing machines my Timbuk2 Copilot roller bag so that video was probably shot at Tasindo. For the next 2 to 3 weeks I will be traveling exclusively with my Evergoods 24L however since I am using a walker due to surgery (sports related). Travel light time.

[@hennyirwanto9743]

Great reviews, u should take "where the lost ten tribes go?" Should be interesting...becouse this topic is the hidden scandal by historians

[@Jelloc]

Here when there are 444 views lol! I wonder why don't all bag manufacturers just use 1000D Cordura Nylon so the bags last forever.

[@WheelieAdventurous]

Cost

[@Jelloc]

@@WheelieAdventurous and weight

[@Youknowthebo]

You're both right. It's all about cost and weight. 😉
