Cordura 1000 is a very heavy weight nylon with urethane coating. It has excellent tear strength and is very abrasion resistant. This fabric is amazingly tough and versatile.
I'm thinking of adding a second layer of Cordura 1000 stitched to the front of my hiking pants from the ankle to mid thigh for additional protection. I also like to have the Cordura added across the butt area of some of my pants for scrambling down hill.
Does anyone have any actual experience with this material? And is sewing or fabric glue the best method of attaching the cordura to the pants?
