It seems that Extremtextil get in different lots but list them under the same description. About 5 years ago I got some 70den/170gsm tpu nylon to make a sleeping mat, and it heat welded fine.

Hi Matt, A 2 person packraft kit would be amazing! I am very interested in constructing something along the lines of the Alpacka Gnu. I am looking to do some two-person back-country expeditions in the spring time, and the added speed of a 2 person packraft would be pivotal to pulling them off. I totally understand if a 2person boat is further down…[Read more]
