D-Shell Outer Fabric
D-FY.IT 1 is constructed with D-Shell — a custom-engineered outer fabric built from 840D ballistic nylon base, externally coated with a matte 5PM polycarbonate layer. This combination offers outstanding resistance to abrasion, weather, and surface damage, without compromising on weight or flexibility.
01
Abrasion Resistance
The polycarbonate-based 5PM coating significantly increases abrasion resistance. In ASTM D3884-09 testing, 5PM-coated ballistic nylon achieved up to 5170 abrasion cycles, compared to 2160 cycles for standard PU coatings—a 139% improvement.
02
Tear & Tensile Strength
The 840D ballistic nylon base provides excellent tear and tensile strength, particularly effective in load-bearing zones and high-friction environments.
03
Scratch & Weather Resistance
The polycarbonate topcoat offers improved resistance to surface damage from sharp tools, creasing, and environmental wear—outperforming traditional PU coatings.
04
Matte Surface Finish
D-Shell features a matte, low-sheen finish. This reduces reflective glare, enhances color depth—especially in black—and maintains a consistent premium look over time.
