Re: Pool Noodles and 1000 Denier Cordura Plus

Notice the response to this post in 2008 Q&A. (Note that the previous part of this thread was posted in 2006 but I didn't find any recent discussion)

The bumper material swatch in the kit of parts (by the checklist, I don't have the swatch in front of me) shows "Seattle Fabrics, Inc.", but their website just lists 1000 denier Cordura®, not Cordura Plus® as indicated on the checklist (and as shown in Figure 8-1, although rule R08 only says "1000 denier Cordura Plus® strongly recommended). I know they have been generally lenient about bumper material in past years, I just wondered if putting a swatch in the kit meant they would enforce it more closely to the letter. It appears that is not the case - I doubt the cami pants in question were made of Cordura Plus®
