    Find at Walmart in Manchester CT

    Getting tired on my drive home from Boston I stopped in the Walmart off Route 84 east of Hartford (420 Buckland Hills Drive, Manchester, CT). For the first time EVER I found some material and lots of it. For just $1.50/yd I grabbed a bunch but there's lots more still there.



    Shown in the uncoated, non-ripstop digital camo but I also grabbed the last of some coated (PU?) digital camo and some very light (1.1?) ripstop in green.

    Your walmart has the same stuff mine did. This answers my other thread's question I guess.

    They had at least 3 bolts of it today while i was there and they had many more a few weeks ago --- I got 12 yards (all they had) of the coated stuff.

    I don't know how much I can trust the non-ripstop stuff (I wasn't even sure it was nylon or not) simply because I haven't used it for anything yet. Maybe I'll go back and get some more of the uncoated stuff, if I can find the funds to support it.


    Also -- was the coated stuff ripstop? whatever I ended up getting was some sort of ripstop.

    Image of label on PU coated? Digital camo

    Can you (or some else who is in the know) snap a clear picture of the label on the coated digital camo you got from Walmart? Actually, a couple posts with images from those who have used the mystery fabrics and their estimates on the real material properties would be a HUGE help.

    I know I'd sure appreciate it..

    They took it off the box to measure it so no label. Sorry.
