Can anyone give me the trade name of the fleece lined vinyl that car bras and helmet bags are made from? Thanks in advance. K
Top Gun is an inexpensive 100% polyester fabric, but it is not breathable. For things that are going to be enclosed for a length of time, especially things that may be wet when put away, this may create a problem, and that is why I suggested woven (breathable) fabrics like woven polyester and woven acrylic. Top Notch is woven polyester, which is the equivalent of woven acrylic but less expensive. The Odyssey Soft Touch was the perfect combination of breathable acrylic fabric and soft backing. I had never heard of the Odyssey before, so I learned something today also.pmeisel said:Some of the boaters i know use a material called Top Gun -- similar to Sunbrella but tougher.
Dude: You have a warped sense of humor, but you are humorous nonetheless. Wrapped a little tightly, but humorous. I bet you never expected all this hullabaloo over your original post, did you?klock said:Well, now that I know that, try this one $#@^&&&*&^%$%#$%......just kidding! Have a good weekend. K
I agree that Sunbrella bags like you say, that's why I have switched to Top Notch which is the same price for me as Sunbrella anyway. The only problems with Top Notch are its limited color selection, and it needs to be cut with an Engle hot knife to stop the raw edges from fraying. Sunbrella has 100's of colors, patterns, and weaves. Sunbrella is solution dyed woven acrylic, and it's been around forever, so I'm sure there are pretenders out there that are lesser quality.57Fairlane said:Acually, Top Notch is more expensive for me then sunbrella, by a few dollars a yard. Ya, sunbrella does hold its color good, now that I think about it, But I still won't use it for the other reasons, "bagging" out being one of the biggest, make sure you use adjustable poles with sunbrella. A nice snug cover will be loosy after a year. Fake sunbrella? is there such a thing?
