It's just Nylon but with a marketing spin, a bit like me selling you a Thermablok® and you later finding out it's just a brick! Companies make up these names to help old products sound like they've invested R&D innovating some brand new material.
yes. 1200 denier reinforced nylon is much better than 1000 denier cordura nylon. Hands down.
Denier nylon is a unit of measuring the thickness/weight of a thinly spun fiber. It indicates the material's durability, plus the fineness of fiber filaments and yarns - both natural and synthetic. The higher the denier, the thicker the fiber; the lower the denier, the finer the fiber. per Wiki answer to what is denier.
nylon
Nylon is more durable than polyester. Also, when comparing 840 denier to 600 denier of the same fabric, the 840 denier is thicker, rougher, more coarse and stronger than the 600 denier. So, on both counts, the 840 denier nylon is more durable. If you look at the following link, the tan soft dog crate is made of 600 denier polyester and the colorful soft dog crates are made of nylon.

Denier is a unit of weight indicating the fineness of fiber filaments and yarns that are woven together to make up the ballistic nylon.
Denier is a unit of measurement applied to silk, rayon or nylon yarn. It is equal to the weight in grams of 9000 meters of the yarn. Generally, the higher the denier number, the thicker and more durable the resulting fabric will be.
is 330 deniers nylon better than 500 D cordura ? 100 D cordura ? (for backback with audio gear) thanks so much
Denier polyester is fabric and the higher the number, the thicker and stronger it is. 210 would be thin like silk.
1500 denier, the threads are more dense and closer together thus they are more durable.
The ballistic nylon will be a higher denier (thickness of the thread). Also will be shiny/glossy compared to the matte finish of polyester. Ballistic nylon will be much more durable and much less likey to tear or scuff. You can get higher denier polyester (900, 1200, 1800) which will be better for wear and tear. The price will reflect this however as 600d poly is low to mid price point whereas the others are higher.
