It is available retail in small quantities from Seattle Fabrics but at a premium price. Usually it is found in 200 and 400 denier nylon fabric weights.The 400 (or 420) fabric will make stronger bags. The 200 denier is what Snapdragon uses for the waist tube on their Sea Tour and other neoprene/nylon spraydecks and better quality inflatable rescue floats. If you are looking for a bigger quantity you might try contacting Seattle Textile as they sometimes have "seconds" at a much better price per yard. If buying 100 yards or more try Mann Industries on the East Coast somewhere. The coating weight differs even though the nylon denier may be the same. We use the heaviest coating we can find for the dry bags we have made with this material. It's the best stuff we have found for making durable watertight bags.
