A lightweight technical fabric originally developed for the South Korean military, the FD Crimped Poly is soft to the touch, with a very matte texture, and is extremely water-resistant. The crimped yarn increases its abrasion resistance and also gives the fabric a small amount of mechanical stretch.
This fabric has a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000 mm, meaning it can withstand water pressure equivalent to a column of water 10 metres high before water penetrates through the fabric, as determined through hydrostatic head testing. The fabric also has a high breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24h, helping maintain comfort and dryness during sweaty activities like trail running, hiking, or commuting home on the tram.
Crumpler made clothing. Drawing on the same technical expertise behind our bags, we developed the Golden Sample collection using FD Crimped Poly — an advanced technical fabric originally developed for the (South) Korean military. Highly breathable, water and wind-resistant. The crimped yarn enhances abrasion resistance and provides slight mechanical stretch for greater mobility. Designed for everyday wear.
