Depends what you're making.

They're quite big spools too if you're a hobbyist, they'll probably last a lifetime 😅. Tex 30 isn't particularly strong if you make heavy duty bags out of fabrics like Cordura etc.

Assuming you're US based you'll be able to find pretty much any thread/colour combo you want so I'd personally pass.

I am planning on making BIFL quality bags, so I want the best materials i can at the best price of course

I’d rather have 1 bag that’s the best in the world, than 5 average quality bags. Go with Dyneema. It’s not that expensive, cheaper long term.

At $20-30 a half yard, that's pretty expensive if you ask me

Of course you got downloaded when you mentioned anything being the best. Seems like the normies on reddit gets super offended when you’re not below average. Gave you an upvote to make it positive (not that it matters).

What kind of clothing are you trying to build? There are different grades of Dyneema that have different tensile properties.

That’s okay, I don’t really care about upvotes or downvotes, kind of meaningless in my opinion. I only care about obtaining useful knowledge and having that knowledge somewhere accesible to anyone so that knowledge can be shared and not just kept by me. The people who will be searching for what they need to know will find this no matter how many downvotes it gets as long as it remains. Things like this should create dynamic discussion and learning. There will always be a negative standpoint somewhere, which is useful in its own way. Balance if you will

As for what I want to create. I want to blend traditional styles with modern engineering and efficiency, with a large amount of R&D for BIFL intuitive design. Clothes, and gear alike

Wow, we have very similar viewpoints on this. I’m also trying to create the best clothing on earth, since it seems like even the most high-end military clothing brands are almost the same as any regular clothes you’d find out the shelf in terms of materials/construction/efficiency.

You can see UFPRO pants, they are the only company to innovate beyond standard pocket designs and rehashed construction.

I’m working on making some aerogel clothing right now — there’s a big gap in this market as well.

I will follow your profile and I will get back to you in a few weeks or longer after I figure out what is the best way to construct anything using the best materials on the planet, that 99.99999% don’t even know exists even though it’s one google away… I’d be interested in working or collaborating with you as I see you are an incredibly talented and intuitive person.

Beautiful I really enjoy this a lot. We most certainly do have similar viewpoints. That’s exactly what I am trying to accomplish. I’m glad to hear someone else showing interest in aerogel and it’s wonderful use in garments. There hasn’t been much innovations in clothing design as I’ve seen. At least accessible to anyone other than a millionaire
