Ballistic nylon Ballistic nylon is a thick , tough , synthetic nylon fabric used for a variety of applications . Ballistic nylon was originally developed by the DuPont corporation as a material for flak jacket s to be worn by World War II airmen . The term ballistic nylon takes its name from the fact that it was intended to protect its wearers from flying debris and fragmentation caused by bullet or artillery shell impacts . It was not an effective defense against most pistol or rifle rounds ( ballistic nylon has been replaced by Kevlar and other , more effective , bullet resistant fabrics for these cases ) let alone the heavy 20mm and 30mm autocannons Axis fighters were often armed with . Modern applications of ballistic nylon include luggage , cave packs , tool belts , police duty belt s , watchstraps , motorcycle jackets , skin - on - frame kayaks , and Horseware Rambo turnout blankets . The original specification for ballistic nylon was an 18 ounce nylon fabric made from 1050 denier high tenacity nylon yarn in a 2x2 basketweave . Today the term is often used to refer to any nylon fabric that is made with a " ballistic weave " , typically a 2x2 or 2x3 basketweave . It can be woven from nylon yarns of various denier such as 840 denier and 1680 denier . Denier refers to the weight , not the strength , of the fabric . Laboratory tests have been run and the double weave 1050 denier fabric is the strongest and most durable fabric for its denier weight level . The 1680 denier looks very similar to the 1050 when it is new , but it is actually not as strong as double weave 1050 denier and gets fuzzy as it wears . As it resists abrasion and tearing , ballistic nylon is typically used for luggage and in the bottom of bags made of a lighter nylon or other fabric . Ballistic nylon is hard to dye , so it is often found in black or similar dark colors .
