ParaPack

[JerryBaumchen 1,373]

Hi out there in G/R-Land,

I quite often post something about where someone can find supplies; now I'm looking.

Anyone know of a source of ParaPack, uncoated in white/yellow/orange?

Thanks,

I think it's PIA-C-7219 type III class 1. Performance textiles list it as a product 39" wide at
http://www.perftex.com/specifications/62-military.html

You might call them and see if they even make it. Then you'd know whether to keep looking for a dealer. If you can't find it it may not exist. The term Para-Pack to me implies water proof coating. Don't if that name was applied to uncoated also.\

Will lighter weight 4 oz flag cloth work?

Or uncoated cordura? https://www.dogbooties.com/shop/330-denier-cordura/

I know I owe you some other replies. Been busy packing. Later.

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the leads. Perf Tex could do if I wanted to buy 2,00 yds.

'Back in the day' all parachute gear was built of uncoated ParaPack only. Then along came coated Cordura, which everyone went to. That lead to coated ParaPack and no uncoated.

I've got uncoated ParaPack in black, which will do the job; just wanted something lighter.

As my grandmother used to say, 'Want and be damned.'

C'est la vie,
