Military Parka & Poncho Fabrics

Military parka and poncho fabrics are engineered to provide superior protection and durability in extreme environments. These high-performance textiles combine weather resistance, breathability, and mechanical strength — essential properties for defense, tactical, and outdoor applications.

1. Composition and Structure

Most military parka and poncho fabrics are made from nylon 6.6, polyester, or poly-cotton blends, often with ripstop or twill weave constructions. The ripstop grid reinforcement prevents tearing and ensures long-term durability in field conditions.

Typical constructions include:
  • 100% Nylon 6.6 for maximum abrasion resistance
  • Polyester or Nylon Ripstop for lightweight protection
  • Poly-cotton Twill or Ripstop for comfort and natural feel
  • 2. Coating and Lamination Technologies

    To achieve full weather protection, the fabrics are finished with advanced coating or lamination systems:

  • PU (Polyurethane) coatings or membranes – provide water resistance up to 10,000 mm while maintaining breathability
  • Acrylic or FR (flame-retardant) coatings – add surface protection and compliance with EN ISO 14116 or NFPA standards
  • TPU laminations – enhance hydrostatic head, flexibility, and chemical resistance

  • Seam-sealing compatibility is also a key requirement to ensure waterproof garment performance.

    3. Functional Performance

    Military parka and poncho fabrics are designed for multi-climate operations:

  • Waterproof / Windproof / Breathable
  • UV and IR (infrared) camouflage resistance
  • Anti-static and flame-retardant options
  • Lightweight and packable for rapid deployment

  • Thermal insulation layers can also be integrated for cold-weather parkas.

    4. Typical Applications

  • Field parkas and combat jackets
  • Rain ponchos and tactical covers
  • Protective outer shells for multi-layer uniforms
  • Camouflage shelters and gear covers

  • 5. Customization

    Military fabrics can be produced in custom colors or camouflage patterns (e.g., NATO Green, Desert Tan, Woodland, or Multicam). Both IR-treated and non-IR versions are available depending on operational requirements.

    Suitable "PRO label industrial laundry"

    The "PRO" lettering with a thick black background indicates suitability for care in professional laundries.
    The series of numbers indicates which of the eight washing processes listed has been tested in accordance with ISO 15797. 
    The two symbols on the right represent the drying process. The hexagon in the square stands for tumble drying. The rectangle at the bottom stands for tunnel or cabinet finishing.
    Our fabrics are produced suitable for industrial washing upon request.

    We produce durable fabrics

    Durable fabrics are usually used in environments with harsher conditions. They may have to pass high-speed wear tests, more wash cycles test, or stronger pull, twist and bending tests to meet the conditions of use in the environment.

    Fade Resistant

    We produce our fabrics with big molecules and special dyes so that they will not fade for a longer period of time.

    Optional Chemical Finishes
    Optional Chemical Finishes

    The technical properties given to woven and knitted fabrics by different finishing applications make the fabric, and therefore the user, protected against all environmental conditions and external factors. High-performance technical textile products are obtained with finishes that give the fabric properties such as antibacterial, water repellency or flame retardancy. Nano-sized components can make the fabric resistant to washing and functional with PFAS compatibility.
