“We are still on a bit of a high from the positive energy of the show along with the consistent flow of brands and industry attendees who stopped by our booth to learn more about our innovative fabric solutions for the tactical market,” said James Lang, Sales Manager, Dimension-Polyant X-Pac® Tactical. “It was our strongest Supplier Showcase to date and a great way to start the new year, building on the strong market position X-Pac® Tactical achieved through excellent sales performance and growing adoption of its tactical fabrics throughout 2025.”
Dimension-Polyant has established itself as a trusted innovation partner to leading tactical brands, leveraging the proven strengths of its laminate platforms and elevating performance through proprietary lamination technologies. Adoption of the company’s X-Pac® Tactical materials has expanded rapidly after extensive vetting by large manufacturers and brand partners with end users reporting overwhelmingly positive feedback on strength, durability, lightweight performance, and waterproofing.
“We’ve built a reputation for delivering real-world performance that end users can trust,” said James Lang, Sales Manager, Dimension-Polyant X-Pac® Tactical. “The growth we achieved in 2025 reflects how strongly the market is responding to advanced laminate solutions that deliver durability, weight savings, and scalability without compromise.”
According to Lang, attendees were drawn to the company’s new X-Pac® MANTA® fabrics, a pioneering advancement in tactical textiles that redefine benchmarks for weight, strength, and durability. Engineered with a structural core, X-Pac® MANTA® fabrics deliver exceptional strength, dimensional stability, and laser-cut precision, making them ideal for demanding applications such as structural packs, plate carriers, and MOLLE panels.
X-Pac® MANTA® fabrics are available in two innovative constructions: Dimension-Polyant’s exclusive Tyra Core Technology® spread filament core and woven Ultra Core technology utilizing Ultra-PE fibers. Tyra Core Technology® aligns and orients each filament to maximize load-bearing efficiency, tear resistance, and puncture toughness, delivering exceptionally lightweight yet incredibly strong laminates. Ultra Core fabrics utilize a woven Ultra-PE mid-layer for a softer hand feel, lighter weight, and Berry compliance.
Dimension-Polyant also presented its successful X-Pac® X3 collection of laminates that feature a rugged, flexible three-layer construction that is 100% waterproof, reinforced by DP’s proprietary X-PLY® fiber technology and finished with a sleek polyester film backing. These laminates include:
- WX21 – USA-sourced 200d nylon face fabric with an added polyester wrap insert for enhanced low-stretch and rip-stop properties. Ideal for lightweight packs, gear pouches, rucksacks, and every day carry applications.
- X33 MULTICAM – Tightly woven 330d traditional Multicam® Nylon face-fabric with black post-consumer recycled polyester X-PLY® reinforcement and shiny polyester film backing for a highly abrasion-resistant, tear-resistant, waterproof material.
- X50 TACTICAL – The workhorse of the X-Pac® Tactical line-up. X-Pac® X50 Tactical utilizes a rugged 500d CORDURA® face fabric with a 400d aramid X-PLY® which is lighter weight, stronger, than a traditional polyester X-PLY® reinforcement. The result is a highly abrasion-resistant, tear-resistant, waterproof material.
- X50 MULTICAM – Rugged X50 features a 500d CORDURA® face fabric in multiple Multicam® patternsfor a highly abrasion-resistant, tear-resistant, waterproof material.
“Our materials continue to push the boundaries of strength-to-weight performance and design flexibility,” said Lang. “We’re seeing strong momentum across structural gear, load-bearing systems, and next-generation tactical applications.”
Dimension-Polyant has established partnerships with several leading tactical brands, including Haley Strategic Partners, Spiritus Systems, and LOF Defense, and continues to expand its laminate portfolio to meet evolving market needs. The company remains uniquely positioned to support both large-scale production and collaborative development.
“We’re big enough to deliver contract-scale orders, but small enough to stay close to our customers and build solutions based on real operational needs,” said Lang. “Our R&D team works hand-in-hand with partners to deliver the next generation of laminate technologies.”
Driven by the rapid adoption of advanced laminate materials in the tactical space and strong demand growth throughout 2025, Dimension-Polyant has continued to invest in key talent across operations, customer service, marketing, and supply chain to ensure scalable growth and consistent delivery performance.
