Kevlar and aramid
Also: aramid, Kevlar floor
Kevlar is a brand name for aramid fibres. In some packraft floors, aramid is woven into the nylon to make them more cut- and abrasion-resistant.
Kokopelli, for example, uses a floor of 840-denier Kevlar-nylon blend with 210-denier tubes on the Nirvana. Such floors are intended for rocky rivers.
