Was at the chicago boat show. Noticed on alot of new boats, and waverunner seats, they are using some strange material. Its almost like a canvas/neoprene kinda material. Anyone seen it? Looking to find out what its actually called.

I'd like to know more about this. I've never heard about it before.

Its pretty cool stuff. More like a fabric feel than vinyl. Hard to explain .

I believe its a material made by sunbrella. It was in a few pontoons too

Yes the guys there kept just sayin "its vinyl". Was hoping for a brand or term to narrow it down lol

Its was probably the shop floor sweeper they put out there to try and sell boats and had no clue.

Quite a few actually Mike. I saw it on the chris craft 32 launch, Four winns, ski nautique, some new waverunner seats, pontoons, etc.

I was also very impressed with some of the new materials, the swim platform seadeck was great, the pearl vinyl with a carbon fibre weave pattern was nice and what I think you are referring to was a sort of light weight nylon that didnt appear to be water resistant but apparently it is.
