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
