While I've found a GSM to oz/yard conversion, I'm not seeing the relationship from GSM to denier. I'm assuming a larger GSM (i.e. heavier) implies a larger denier (i.e.denser thread). So would a 96 GSM (2.9 oz/yd) ripstop hold up to heavier abuse?
FLRider, I appreciate the recommendation on the grabbing a GI poncho. Unfortunalely, the wife wants the color of the quilt to match the kids' team colors. Wouldn't you know it, neither one of them is army green.
Thanks,
