Hello All,
I have a HH Exped Asym and was wondering what type of fabric the thing is made from. Doesn't look like ripstop. I bought some fabric from a local store that looks just like the stuff my HH uses. Any thoughts?

According to the Hennessy website, it's 210D Oxford nylon.

I've heard the term "Taslan" is that the same thing?Originally Posted by JerryW
I found this definition of oxford nylon on the web:
"A stiff, coarse nylon fabric with a basket-like weave and a durable finish. It's generally used for award, baseball or athletic style jackets. Not as smooth as a taffeta nylon."
So, I guess not. I'm not sure I could tell them apart.

I'm not familiar with Taslan but for oxford cloth think fine quality (Brooks Brothers) men's dress shirts. It is a very nice fabric.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
