In backpack customization, fabric selection is one of the key steps. Backpack styles, aesthetics, texture, and cost prices are different for different fabric materials. Oxford cloth and nylon are two widely used fabrics in the current backpack production process. So, which is better for backpack materials, nylon or nylon?
Oxford cloth and nylon fabric are both commonly used fabrics for backpack production. Each of these two fabrics has its own characteristics and performance is also different. There is no way to comprehensively compare two fabrics with different properties. As for which fabric is better, the key is to choose according to the style, version, and purpose of the customized backpack, and the appropriate one is better.
Oxford cloth, also known as Oxford textile, is a versatile and widely used fabric. The main varieties on the market are: plaid, full stretch, nylon, and Teflon. A traditional combed cotton fabric originated in England and named after Oxford University.
After dyeing, finishing, and coating processes, Oxford grey cloth has the advantages of soft feel, strong drapability, novel style, good waterproof performance, and wear resistance, as well as high strength and elastic recovery ability. The backpack made of oxford cloth has a relatively three-dimensional and crisp shape, and it is not easy to deform after being used for a long time. Oxford cloth has weaker moisture absorption than nylon and less breathability than nylon. However, Oxford cloth is extremely easy to dry after washing, and the fabric strength hardly decreases, so it is not easy to deform.
Nylon is the first synthetic fiber in the world, and nylon is a term for polyamide fiber (nylon). Polyamide is mainly used in synthetic fibers, and its most prominent advantage is that its abrasion resistance is higher than all other fibers, 10 times higher than that of cotton, and 20 times higher than that of wool. Adding some polyamide fibers to blended fabrics can greatly improve their abrasion resistance; When stretched to 3-6%, the elastic recovery rate can reach 100%; Capable of withstanding tens of thousands of twists and turns without breaking.
The main characteristics of nylon fabrics are light weight, excellent wrinkle resistance, good breathability, and excellent wear resistance. Especially, high-density nylon fabrics have excellent wear resistance, and the moisture absorption of nylon fabrics is a better variety among synthetic fiber fabrics. Therefore, bags and backpacks made of nylon will be more comfortable and breathable. Nylon is a lightweight fabric, and the self weight of a bag made of nylon is lighter than that of other fabrics. It is more lightweight and portable for outdoor use. Therefore, many outdoor sports backpacks, mountaineering bags, sports waist bags, and other bags are made of nylon fabric.
Nylon fabric and oxford fabric have their own characteristics, and both fabrics have good texture, waterproof performance, and wear resistance. However, oxford fabric is more important than nylon, so if you want to customize a lightweight backpack, it is recommended to choose a lightweight nylon fabric. If you want a crisp backpack style, it is recommended to choose oxford fabric, as nylon fabric is relatively lightweight, resulting in a less rigid and three-dimensional backpack style. Compared to oxford fabric, the effect will be better.
