Materials used for factory covers and bimini?

[imhoff]

Anyone know what material is used for the factory cover? It appears to be super lightweight, trying to figure out how that will hold up compared to Sunbrella. Also curious what material is used for the bimini, I'm guessing it might be Sur Last or Sur Last Series 70 according to http://commercialsewing.com/mooring-...ed-to-imports/

Thanks in advance!

These covers are made from a solution dyed polyester where Sunbrella is a solution dyed acrylic. polyester sheds water better acrylic breathes better. Sunbrella is most popular for convertible tops and polyester more popular for covers. It is also less likely to fade. Acrylic stretches over time where polyester is more dimensionally stable. polyester is stronger per oz. and generally less expensive. rochfordsupply.com has a chart comparing all top materials including weight and warranty info.
