SuperFabric® is being used in skijackets, pants, motorcycle apparel, seating, industrial covers, footwear, the FERRARI (599 GTB), upholstery and much more. SuperFabric® materials are customizable. The fabrics are abrasion resistant, highly durable, stain resistant, breathable, slash resistant, rodent resistant and available in many unique patterns, designs, styles, and colours.
