Dropstitch fabric is an innovative material made from thousands of polyester threads, joining two surfaces of a durable, high-strength material. This process offers exceptionally strong performance and is surprisingly lightweight. A quality dropstitch has a denser weave of threads, distinguishing between knitted and woven.
HDDS - High Density Drop Stitch
Material information:
– single layer dropstitch fabric – knitted – 90% of sup use this kind – weight and stiffness good – works good for sup with 15cm thickness – starts bending the sup with 100+kg paddler
DLT - Double Layer Technology
Material information:
– double layer dropstitch fabric – knitted – fusion double laye -MSL – more stiffness – holds more weight – fabric is more durable against abrasion and as a matter better for air tightness
SL ULT - Single Layer Ultra Light
Material information:
– single layer dropstitch fabric – woven – still it is a little more stiff as HDDS but less as DLT – 25-30 % lighter compared to HDDS – very light and max stiffness and durability
DL ULT - Double Layer Ultra Light
Material information:
– double layer dropstitch fabric – woven – same as SL ULT but with 2 layers – very light and max stiffness and durability
