Best Answer

Denier is not French for "last"- that's "dernier". Denier is a unit of weight to measure nylon or silk, so is used in hosiery to describe the thickness of the material used. It also relates to the opacity of the material- the higher the number, the less opaque your tights.
1) A unit of fineness for rayon, nylon, and silk fibers, based on a standard mass per length of 1 gram per 9,000 meters of yarn.

2) A small coin of varying composition and value current in Western Europe from the eighth century until the French Revolution.

3) A small, trifling sum

4) Someone who denies something

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.

Is dog carriers made of 600 denier polyester more durable that made of 840 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.
