Description
ARGON 49 Fabric is specially made for us as the cutting-edge ultimate nylon quilt material. This 7 denier taffeta fabric resists wind and sheds water enough to be the outer shell of a quilt, yet it is breathable enough to be used as the inner shell. It has a very tight weave and a quality DWR coating, is calendared and completely down proof. The material has a silky feel and is baby soft.

Is this fabric suitable for underquilt protectors? If so, do you have plans to make some?

We don’t plan to use this for underquilt protectors, but it is possible. Email us for custom design options: sales@dutchwaregear.com

What needle and thread to you suggest for this thin fabric? It seems that the Mara 70 or Tera 80 thread would be too large. Thank you.
Alec Cade (verified owner) –
What needle size and thread would you recommend for sewing Argon49? (Singer 4411 sewing machine if that affects anything)
Dave Gantz –
Gutermann Mara 70 is great for most DIY applications:

Can you print the kryptek patterns on this fabric ?
Dave Gantz –
We don’t have licensing approval for that fabric yet, but we expect to within the next few months.

Morrocan Blue?
Is the morrocan blue option really available for this fabric? Can you upload a picture (or close color scheme)
Thans!
Dave Gantz –
It is an option; we’ll load a photo of that color as soon as we can. Thank you!

Does this fabric have any coating or DWR treatment?
Dave Gantz –
It is treated with DWR.
ryanshadrin –
Can 7d nylon accept heat transfer vinyl applications or other methods of applying a brandmark or logo to the material?
Dave Gantz –
We suggest print to fabric for our Argon 67 fabric instead. This will last much longer and look much nicer:

Would it be safe to tumble dry a quilt made from this fabric on low or no heat? Thanks
Dave Gantz –
Go for no heat. If any hardware gets hot and then sits on the fabric after the drier stops, it may melt the fabric. So be sure to not let this happen.

What kind of DWR is used with the ARGON 49? Is it a PFC free or using C8 fluorocarbons or C6 fluorocarbons? Thanks.
Dave Gantz –
We are transitioning to carbon free DWR this year, so we plan to have this fabric available in eco-friendly DWR by the end of 2022.

Can this be used for an underquilt protector on a Hellbender hammock?
Alex Thomas –
Yes, you could use this for an UQ protector.
temptingthemuse –
Can this be used for a hammock / quilt catch all sack ?
bensonh –
Would this fabric work well to make a windbreaker out of?
Alex Thomas –
Yes, this could work. Just know that this is an ultralight fabric and you wouldn’t want to be bushwacking or anything with it.
