2012-08-01

RALIEGH, NC, August 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) INVISTA's CORDURA brand is marking its extensive history of providing durable fabric solutions through a timeline recognizing technologies, brand customer adoptions and key products over time—from a 43-year-old Kelty hiking pack to the award-winning Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack introduced in 2006. The timeline will debut at the Summer Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City in August and will be accompanied by an exhibition of archival products and lifestyle photos from brand customers such as Kletterwerks, Osprey, Granite Gear, Eagle Creek, Eddie Bauer, CamelBak, Manhattan Portage, Gregory, JanSport and others.

"In celebrating 'Decades of Durability', we're recognizing our trusted brand customers that have been using our fabrics for years—sometimes decades, and we're showcasing now-classic along with contemporary pieces from their collections," said Cindy McNaull, global CORDURA brand marketing director. "Developing new fabric innovations also keeps our brand moving forward year after year into an ever-widening sphere of end-uses—from the introduction of cutting-edge CORDURA fabric technologies to our adoptions into performance gear and most recently comfortably durable apparel."
