        Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard the buzz around Ultra fabrics from Challenge Sailcloth - and for good reason.

        Ounce for ounce, Ultra fabrics are likely the strongest, most durable materials you can buy on the market today.

        If that wasn't enough, they're also insanely waterproof and seam tapeable. 

        Said another way, a project or product using Ultra can handle more abuse and ultimately last longer compared to using similar weight - or even significantly heavier - standard nylon and polyester. 

        Speaking of products, Ultra fabrics are already being used by some of the leading backpack and bag companies in the world such as Pa'lante Packs, LiteAF, and many more. 

        The performance of Ultra starts with the yarn that's used to weave it - UHMWPE. 

        Unlike all other generally available material options to date, Ultra combines a UHMWPE woven face with a laminated film backing to produce a fabric that has:

        • Extremely high tear and tensile strength
        • Maximal cut, abrasion, and wear resistance
        • Super high and long term waterproofing

        If you're interested in a full breakdown of the technical specs on Ultra, check out our fabric data sheet and/or read this article by Pa'lante Packs.

        Challenge Ultra 400(X) is a laminate fabric comprised of the following layers:

        - 400D UHMWPE/polyester plain woven face

        - Ultra-PE CrossPly

        - 0.75 mil film backing

        If your application requires the lightest, strongest, most durable and waterproof fabric that you can possibly buy - this is it.

        Sold by the Half Yard. For example, enter a quantity of "4" to receive two linear yards of material, measuring two yards (72") in length by the listed width of the material (check specs tab).

      Fabric for a frame bag

      This fabric is tough and durable. My fabric scissors wouldn't cut it but the rotary cutter did fine. I found some heavy duty scissors that also worked to trim corners and extra fabric from seams. Thankfully I have a sailrite sewing machine to put the bag together with zippers, velcro and webbing for rub protection against the fra.e of the bike. I'm very pleased overall

      Thanks for your review, Kathryn! We're glad to hear that the ULTRA 400 worked well for your frame bag, happy biking!

      Very hard, very safe

      I bought this to use on the back and bottom of a backpack. I haven't made a backpack yet, but I've used it on the outside of a fanny pack and it feels waterproof and tear-resistant.
      The fabric is very durability and perfect for use in areas that are subject to the most rubbing or rubbing, but it is hard and a little difficult to sew. Instead of using a cutter or scissors to cut, use heat such as a hot knife to cut so the edges do not fray.

      Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear that the fabric is meeting your durability needs for high-wear areas like the back and bottom of a pack. It’s great to know it worked well on your fanny pack too!

      You're absolutely right—this fabric is tough, which makes it a bit more challenging to sew, but that same strength is what makes it so reliable in rugged applications. The hot knife tip is a great suggestion for clean edges and fray prevention—thanks for sharing!

      We’d love to see your finished backpack when you get to it. Happy making, and thanks for choosing Ripstop by the Roll!

      Challenge 400 - Great fabric but hard to cut

      Really nice fabric. Definitely a sturdier feel than the 200. I use it for the bottom of bags. It is almost impossible to cut with a pair of scissors. A razor wheel works better but, still is a workout to cut through it. Sews easily - used a #16 needle and Mara 40 thread.

      Thanks for leaving a review, Al! The ULTRA 400 is definitely a beefy fabric and it helps to have a sharp blade but still might take some patience. Enjoy!
