Why Choose 500D Ripstop Cordura Fabric for Tactical Gear?
When buyers choose between 500D and 1000D, the real question is not “which is stronger,” but which performs best for the mission.
1) Ripstop Grid = Better Tear Control in Field Use
Ripstop construction is designed to:
reduce tearing after puncture
prevent small damage from spreading
improve overall reliability in rugged conditions
This is especially important for tactical and outdoor gear that gets scraped, folded, and pulled repeatedly.
2) 500D = Best Balance of Strength and Weight
500D is widely used for:
backpacks and assault packs
tactical pouches and organizers
lightweight plate carrier accessories
outdoor gear requiring mobility
Compared to 1000D, it reduces bulk and weight, making it easier for brands to build lighter, faster, more comfortable products.
3) Waterproof PU Coating = Practical Outdoor Protection
PU coating adds a protective layer against:
rain and moisture
splash conditions
wet ground contact
damp storage environments
If your product is used outdoors (hiking, tactical patrol, travel, training), waterproof PU coating helps improve end-user satisfaction and reduces complaint risk.
Waterproof PU Coating Options (Choose by End Use)
Not all “PU coated 500D” is the same. Coating level changes handfeel, waterproofness, and structure.
Light PU Coating (Flexible / Easy Sewing)
Recommended for:
general tactical bags
medium-duty pouches
outdoor backpacks with lighter weight goals
Medium PU Coating (Balanced Waterproof + Structure)
Recommended for:
tactical packs with reinforcement zones
MOLLE pouches that need better body/shape
duty gear organizers
Heavy PU Coating (Maximum Water Barrier)
Recommended for:
covers, outdoor storage bags
equipment protection applications
wet-environment accessories
Tip: If you need waterproof performance beyond standard PU coating, tell us your target mmH₂O and end-use. We can recommend the most cost-effective structure.

FAQ
Is this genuine CORDURA®?
This is a Cordura-style nylon fabric for tactical and outdoor applications.
If you require branded CORDURA®, please tell us your program requirement and we can discuss available options.What’s the advantage of ripstop vs plain weave?
Ripstop includes a reinforced grid that improves tear resistance and helps prevent small cuts from spreading.
Is 500D strong enough for tactical backpacks?
Yes. 500D is widely used for tactical backpacks and pouches where weight control and mobility are important.
If you need maximum abrasion resistance, 1000D may be better for high-wear reinforcement panels.What waterproof rating can you supply?
Common options 800 mmH20
Can you supply IRR / NIR for military projects?
Yes, IRR is optional for selected colors and projects. Share your target requirement and we will check feasibility.
Can you do custom camouflage patterns?
Yes. We can produce custom printed patterns based on your artwork files and program requirements.
Does PU coating affect breathability?
Yes. PU coating provides water resistance but is not breathable, which is ideal for bags, pouches, and covers.
