The range offers several technical benefits for tactical equipment manufacturers, including:

  • Laser-cut ready - clean edges, no residue
  • Reduced fraying - precision layer bonding
  • Superior flexibility - softer feel, more comfortable wear
  • CORDURA® Truelock technology - consistent colour, UV fade resistance
  • No delamination - even in extreme conditions
  • Proven field performance - engineered for reliability under pressure

The initial range includes ProTact G510.1, a 500D/1000D fabric offered in black, coyote brown and the MultiCam® camouflage pattern, and ProTact G55.1, a 500D/500D option available in black, coyote brown and ranger green.

ProTact by Haartz® has already proven itself in the field with advanced durability and protection. The addition of this range complements Carrington Textiles’ existing military fabric offering and further strengthens its position as a trusted supplier to defence forces and tactical equipment manufacturers.
