Dimension-Polyant, the global leader in sailcloth production and manufacturer of X-Pac lightweight, durable and waterproof laminates developed for packs and bags, is set to present its new X-Pac  Tactical Fabrics made with Tyra Technology to esteemed brands in the tactical and shooting sports industry at the Supplier Showcase (booth 51441) from 22-23 January 2024 during the  Shot Show week in Las Vegas.

The Putnam, Connecticut based company is responding to increased demand among tactical operators, first responders and shooting sports enthusiasts for  higher quality, performance materials to safeguard their valuable tactical equipment in transit and in the field.

Tyra Technology by Dimension-Polyant is the pinnacle of spread filament fibre efficiency, delivering exceptionally lightweight, incredibly strong laminates. It expertly aligns and orients each filament, maximising their contribution to load carrying, tear resistance, and puncture toughness. The result cuts out excess weight and increases performance, boosting tear and tensile strength over conventional materials. Whether it's for high-performance sails, rugged outdoor equipment, or demanding tactical uses, Tyra Technology redefines the benchmarks for weight, strength, and durability, the company says.

Born from X-Pac's legacy on the world's most challenging peaks and longest trails, X-Pac Tactical Fabrics are lightweight, durable, and waterproof - the ideal choice for professional operators.  At the forefront of innovation, these fabrics offer peak performance in the harshest environments.  Leveraging a proprietary lamination technology, X-Pac Tactical Fabrics combine trusted face fabrics and innovative fibre reinforcement; specifically designed for the demanding missions. This unique construction enhances the equipment's functionality and longevity.

“We designed our X-Pac Tactical Fabrics for advanced operators who need to go further, faster, and more efficiently,” said Taylor North, Head of Technical Fabrics, Dimension-Polyant. “Our intention with this laminate collection was to create a high-performance carrying solution that exceeds expectations—where lightweight meets durability, and innovation meets reliability.”

According to North, one of the distinct advantages of X-Pac Tactical Fabrics is that they are available in Berry Amendment compliant configurations and showcase Dimension-Polyant’s commitment to US-based sourcing and production.

“This compliance not only supports domestic manufacturing but also underscores our dedication to delivering quality products that meet the stringent standards set by professionals in the field,” added North.

X50 Tactical: X50 Tactical combines the renowned durability of 500d Cordura coupled with gold aramid X-PLY reinforcement. The result is a tremendous strength, lightweight agility, and superior durability for the ultimate professional operator.
