Waterproof Breathable Fabric — Urban Grey, 2 yd

Material overview

Urban Grey ultralight waterproof-breathable, downproof nylon supplied as one fixed two-yard cut. The source listing identifies a 70-denier ECWCS nylon construction, 60-inch width, and durable water-repellent finish.

Recommended applications

Lightweight outerwear, insulated garments, sleeping-bag shells, wind-resistant layers, liners, gear covers, and other weight-sensitive projects that need a downproof nylon face with moisture-shedding performance.

Performance and selection notes

This is a lightweight 70D nylon, not a heavy tarp or structural fabric. Its DWR finish helps water bead on the face, while waterproof-breathable performance depends on the complete construction, seams, wear, contamination, and care.

For rainwear or weatherproof assemblies, test seam tape, thread, needles, adhesives, and hydrostatic performance before production. Do not assume cut edges or sewn seams remain waterproof.

Sales unit

One fixed continuous 2 yd cut; not a one-yard unit

Order format

Quantity 1 represents one continuous piece approximately 60 inches wide by 2 yards long.

Confirm current availability and whether the two-yard piece provides enough usable area after seam allowances, pattern matching, testing, and defects.

Fabrication, care, and limitations

Use fine, sharp needles and test stitch length, seam leakage, seam tape, and heat exposure on an offcut. Minimize unnecessary needle holes.

Use cleaning and DWR-renewal methods appropriate to the exact laminate or coating. High heat, harsh detergent, and fabric softener can reduce performance.

Specification check: Waterproof-breathable performance applies to the source material, not automatically to a sewn item. Finished seams and assemblies require their own validation.
