About PROPPER™ Fabrics

NYCO
NYCO is a 50% nylon/ 50% cotton blend that provides excellent comfort and durability. This military-approved fabric resists fading, shrinking and wrinkling, improving the longevity of the garment. NYCO fabric is available in both ripstop and twill weaves.

BATTLE RIP®
PROPPER™ is proud to offer Battle Rip®, our exclusive 65% polyester/ 35% cotton ripstop fabric. This all-season weight fabric is durable, comfortable and fade resistant. These qualities make Battle Rip® our fabric of choice for the public safety community. Any PROPPER™ item marked with the Battle Rip® logo can pair with any other to create a matching uniform.

65/35 POLY/COTTON
65% polyester/ 35% cotton fabric is a mix of synthetic and natural fibers available in a variety of weaves, including ripstop, twill and canvas. From lightweight to heavyweight, the fabric provides excellent color integrity, shrink resistance and long lasting durability.

60/40 COTTON/POLY
This heavy-duty fabric is widely used in public safety products due to its durability and color integrity versus 100% cotton. The fabric is manufactured in both ripstop and twill weaves and is easy to maintain.

COTTON RIPSTOP
100% cotton ripstop fabric is lightweight, breathable and tear resistant. As an all natural fiber, cotton will fade, wrinkle and shrink faster than synthetic fabric blends. Cotton fibers will also lose their strength under industrial wear and laundering. If color integrity is critical, do not choose this fabric; PROPPER™ will not accept returns on this fabric for color loss or shrinkage over any period of time.

TENCATE DEFENDER™ M
Tencate Defender™ M is the flame-resistant fabric of choice for the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. The fabric uses patented technology to provide exceptional protection from flame and heat while remaining breathable and lightweight. Defender™ M also self-extinguishes and will not melt or drip.

LENZING FR®
Lenzing FR® is a flame-resistant fiber that quickly absorbs and evaporates perspiration for maximum comfort. It protects against radiant and electrical heat, molten substances and flash fires.

PROPPER I.C.E.™
PROPPER I.C.E.™ (Integrated Cooling Effect) fabric is a 90% polyester/10% spandex blend that stands up to intense activity and resists fading, wrinkling and pilling. The fabric dries 125% faster than cotton and 30% faster than traditional polyester. The fabric contains advanced, six-channel wicking fiber that pulls moisture away from the body and dries quickly to keep you cool and comfortable. This technology is engineered directly into the fibers so it never washes away.

NOMEX®
Nomex® features thermal technology that protects against intense heat and flame. The fire protection properties are built directly into the fibers, so they can never be washed out or worn away. The fabric is also lightweight and will never fade.

DRIFIRE®
DRIFIRE® is a flame-resistant, self-extinguishing fabric that is lightweight and comfortable to wear. The fibers wick moisture away from the body and feature antibacterial properties for odor control. When exposed to a flame, DRIFIRE® forms a hard shell and crumbles. It will never melt or drip.
