What is the best fabric for marine covers that need long-lasting weather protection? For many fabricators, the answer comes down to finding a material that balances water resistance, durability, breathability, and ease of fabrication. Hydrofend® marine cover fabric was engineered specifically to meet those demands, helping protect boats, personal watercraft, outdoor furniture, and storage covers from moisture, UV exposure, mold, mildew, and everyday wear. Built from solution-dyed polyester and designed for superior performance, Hydrofend offers reliable protection season after season while remaining lightweight, easy to sew, and simple to store.
At Trivantage®, we’ve got you covered with Hydrofend marine cover fabric. Made from solution-dyed polyester, Hydrofend is engineered for long-term resistance to moisture, mold, mildew, and fading while retaining high tensile and tear strength. Count on Hydrofend to protect any watercraft with a lightweight, breathable fabric that stores easily without cracking and contributes to a smoother towing experience.
To ensure lasting color and superior performance, Hydrofend was designed with a tear strength starting at almost 40 pounds warp and fill. The coating on the underside prevents abrasion while the matte, woven top gives an attractive, outward-facing look. Hydrofend boat fabric is armed with a high double rub count as well as excellent tear and break strength.
Monte Roller, owner of Custom Canvas in Bismark, North Dakota, relies on Hydrofend for his marine projects. His family owned canvas shop specializes in high-end marine covers and enclosures, and Hydrofend ensures he gets his projects just right.
“Hydrofend’s biggest advantage is its sewability,” he said. “The fabric is lighter and stronger than what I’ve previously used for similar projects, and its stretchability and elasticity result in zero wrinkles.”
Because Hydrofend fabrics are coated on the back of the product, the fabric gives you up to six times better water resistance than uncoated fabrics. It lets little water in and water vapor out, and the coating ensures the fabric does not fray – another benefit to Roller.
“I hate strings — it’s as simple as that,” he said. “Hydrofend sews great and does not fray, which means no strings. It’s a solid look for pontoon covers.”
This made in the USA marine cover fabric is available in 13 colors and perfect for use as a boat cover fabric and boat top fabric. It also works equally well for boat enclosures and storage covers. Do you have customers who are worried about how their furniture will hold up against pollen season? Hydrofend cover fabric keeps outdoor seating clean, while also resisting mold and mildew.
