Need a fabric that can carry real weight—and won’t soak up a single drop of water? Go for waterproof Oxford 1000D with PU coating. Its dense weave protects against tears and abrasion, while the polyurethane finish makes rain roll off like it would from an umbrella. Despite its “armor-like” durability, this fabric is surprisingly lightweight and easy to sew—so it won’t weigh down your backpack or bag. Perfect for camera or laptop covers, travel backpacks, fishing gear bags, instrument cases, or frame protectors. In short: one fabric that shields your gear in any condition.
