Paratex Light Snugpak

What it is:

Lightweight nylon fabric.

How it works:

Finely constructed from fine filament yarns (34 stands per bundle 10,000metres of each bundle weighing only 54 grams) each filament 10 times finer than a human hair.

The gaps between the fibres cause the moisture to wick across a larger surface area allowing it to evaporate more readily, as the perspiration is evaporating from within the fabric the user is not cooled.

Where it is used:

Ideal as a sleeping bag lining or as a casing fabric for lightweight low pack size insulated clothing.
