Which luggage is more durable - that made of ballistic nylon or that made of 600 denier polyester?

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.

∙ 11y agoBallistic nylon is more durable than 600 denier polyester.
In this situation the term "ballistic" is used to describe high denier fabrics woven in a 'ballistic' way, often a 2x2 or 2x3 basketweave. Manufacturers of luggage and other fabric products like to use the prefix "ballistic" to emphasize a heavy duty product.
600 denier is not high enough to be considered ballistic, and in general most nylons are more durable than most polyesters.
Previous Answer:
According to a website on luggage, ballistic nylon is stronger. Read all about it at the Related Link. I would say nylon would be the best option. Search around the Travel Goods Sourcebook for a whole bunch of good luggage options and some further information on the comparison.

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.

Which is more durable 750-denier Eva-reinforced polyester or 1200D nylon?
Though I haven't used either of these myself but EVA- reinforced polyester will be the better option
What is more durable 600-denier duralite or 1800 denier polyester?
I am assuming you are talking about a fabric made from either 1200 or 600 denier yarn. The thickness of the yarn in 1200 denier is twice that of 600 denier, which also implies the fabric will be rougher and ofcourse stronger. If you are looking for strength, 1200 is better. If you want a smoother finish fabric, choose the 600 denier. Hope this helps. Deviprasad
What is the best denier for luggage?
A 1260 American made Ballistic Nylon is the best you can get at this time but they are coming up with new fabrics all the time. A 2520 Foreign made ballistic nylon is not a bad choice either.
Is 210 denier a polyester or nylon?
Denier polyester is fabric and the higher the number, the thicker and stronger it is. 210 would be thin like silk.
What is the difference between ballistic nylon and denier?
Denier is a unit of weight indicating the fineness of fiber filaments and yarns that are woven together to make up the ballistic nylon.

What is the difference between 420D nylon bags or 600D polyester bag Which is cheaper and more durable?
In both cases, the "D" stands for the word "denier", which is a measure of the fineness of the material. Specifically, the word refers to the weight (in grams) of 9,000 meters of the fiber from which the material is made. In simpler terms, it means that a higher denier fabric is stronger and more durable than the same type of fabric with a lower denier rating. However, when comparing two different types of fabrics, such as polyester and nylon, it is important to note that because each fabric has different weights, 600D polyester fabric is not equal to 600D nylon fabric in terms of strength. In general, nylon is a stronger fabric type than polyester, and 420D nylon fabric, for example, is actually stronger than 600D polyester
