    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 200 is a laminate fabric comprised of the following layers:

    - 200D UHMWPE/polyester plain woven face

    - 0.5 mil Recycled PET 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 qty of "4" to receive 2 linear yards of fabric.

Ultra 200

Nice, light fabric. Sews easily, very pliable. Needs reinforcement for seams and other stress points. You could reinforce with an additional fabric layer/ webbing ( sewn through)/ or ultra tape. I will sew, oversew and tape or sew with binding tape. Maybe overkill, just hoping that the seams don't fail. I know people use it for packs, I prefer 400 for packs and use the lighter ones for chest/waist bags.

Thanks for sharing those tips Al! We're glad you found a fabric you love for packs and waist bags!

Premium feel.

There are only a few fabrics that you can hold and really feel the careful detail that went into every thread- this is one of them. It just feels so rich! Highly recommend for applications of lightweight yet durable gear.

Thanks, Tyler! Challenge ULTRA™ 200 is pretty dreamy. We'd love to see what you made with the fabric, be sure to tag us on social media!
