The Finest Fabrics
PowerGrid Cordura® from Dupont Corporation and PowerGrid nylon with Spectra®
from Allied Signal Corporation. This PowerGrid weave creates a material with
extraordinary tear strength.
PowerGrid Cordura®
Cordura® nylon has set the standard in high performance
fabrics in outdoor, industrial and military applications.
PowerGrid Cordura® is created for Tamrac with a three-ply woven grid of Cordura® fiber woven into Cordura® fabric.
This PowerGrid weave adds significant strength to this already
super-strong material. A double waterproof internal coating assures weather proofing. We
are very proud that most Tamrac products are now constructed of PowerGrid Cordura®.
PowerGrid Nylon Lining
The inside linings of nearly all our camera bags are of a
smooth, weatherproof, lightweight nylon that does not collect dust
or lint. We use linings that are gray in color to make it
easier to find equipment in low light.
Ballistic Nylon
Ballistic Nylon was named "Ballistic" because it is used in conjunction
with Kevlar® to make bullet proof vests. Although it is extremely tough, it
has a remarkably smooth texture so it is not abrasive and does not collect dirt
or lint. We use ballistic nylon in our industrial cases like
our Rolling StrongBoxes and also in our Digital Series
products. |
PolyTek
PolyTek is smooth, very tightly woven, extremely strong and double coated
to provide superior weatherproofing. It is used in most of our
5000 Series Products.
Thick, Closed-Cell Foam Protection
Our camera bags and packs are lined with thick, closed-cell foam for the very
best shock and vibration protection.
ABS Platforms
Our larger bags, cases and backpacks receive extra
protection from a bottom
platform of tough ABS plastic, the same plastic used in football helmets.
Windowpane-Mesh
A Tamrac innovation developed in the early eighties,
Windowpane-Mesh combines clear vinyl and nylon mesh
for film and accessory pockets.
ToughTek Mesh
The mesh accessory pockets of our backpacks are
constructed with ToughTek mesh, a coated mesh that holds
accessories in view yet is strong enough to take abuse on the
roughest expeditions. |

Other Material Innovations
Our exclusive EasyGrip composite material is used in
the handles for most of our products. The material is
exceptionally non-slip, yet soft and easy on your hands.
Zippers
We use high quality, self-healing nylon coil zippers in all of our products
(except vests). When zippers are used in extreme situations, the importance of self-healing
coil cannot be over emphasized. In major openings and pockets we use ZipClip zipper pulls
for quick access. |

Hardware
Tamrac products are engineered with the finest hardware application for each
task. We were the first company to use side release buckles on camera bags (almost 20
years ago) and our Easy Squeeze buckles have received
world-wide acclaim.
We are the only camera bag company to use welded, heavy duty Double Bar D Rings that never
turn sideways and ultra-strong metal snap-hooks for security. |
Workmanship
For over twenty years we have built our reputation on legendary quality. Our
workmanship and quality are the combination of excellent sewing and product
engineering
that is reinforced with the finest materials, threads, findings. We know how to make
it right the first time. |
