No guarantees, but I have seen other teams with non-Cordura bumper coverings. Just get a fabric that is relatively strong, which tends to be heavy in weight, kind of like denim or canvas. Ask the local fabric store for the heaviest material they have, preferably nylon, and it should be OK. I mean, what'll it take to rip the stuff??
The Cordura we have is like the stuff they use to make backpacks, almost the thickness of a pair of blue jeans, but nylon, of course. I bet you could tow a car with it, kind of overkill.
Good Luck,
Don
