Reviews from 2010-12 said that vest is flimsy material but 2015 description says vest is made from sturdy polyester twill. Which is it?

The material is very lightweight, but I wouldn't describe it as flimsy. I purchased 3 of these, for ages 5,6,7 boys, and they've held up pretty well. They love them, wear them to school and play.

I gave the vest to my grandson for Christmas 2014. I would say that the front of the vest, which holds all the pockets is sturdy; the back of the vest is flimsy. I had hoped we could sew the many fabric badges he has collected from state and national parks on the back of the vest, but the fabric was not sturdy enough.

Thanks for your inquiry! I do believe the model is the older style. With that said it could be the more flimsy style. Thanks and have a great day!!!

We gave it to our grandson for Christmas and we thought it was pretty good material. He loved it!

It doesn't say. The label says it is made of "all new material consisting of polyester fiber." It is very firmly stuffed.

It's lightweight fabric. I would say maybe nylon but not quite as sheer or thin as a parachute type fabric. I use it with a liner. Definitely not heavy enough to use for hauling and moving a dead body!

I think it would be more like polyester not a crinkly papery material. Very quiet and soft. You will not be disappointed.

I believe the polyester is due to the flocked top surface. The actual construction is a thick vinyl.

It's a nylonish type of material. It doesn't hold up well inside the cart. The Velcro needs to be stronger. The fit needs to be better as well.

It's not like rubber or silicon. It's made of a molded polycarbonate (TPU) so it flexes some but keeps its shape.The best part of this material over something more rubber-like is that it won't stick in clothing pockets.

I don't know what the. Material is made of, it should say on Amazon's description. I got it for my husband's 67 Mustang, it has four layers, super easy to put on and has kept it dry through our rainy Pacific NW. Even some snowstorms. Very well made. I got the other one for my son, it was about 20 dollars less and is not nearly as good. This is a very good product.

I am not 100% sure but the material is polyester and I have read that that fabric can be fire resistant. I like the feel of it. It's pretty thick too. I hope that helped but I don't know much about that topic.

It has very tough fabric, with a rigid hard rubber skeleton. The stitching is some of the best I've seen outside of military vests. The padding is amazing and can survive most day to day drops. And it has a chest and buckle so it won't be going anywhere.

it's 100% polyester. feels like sort of a very stiff fleece. pretty flat and smooth. not fluffy or cushy.

It is made out of a braided nylon-y looking and feeling material. They make dog leashes out of this material ( and luggage straps.) The material is not stretchy. Again, think of a dog leash or seat belt material. It is not soft but it folds easily so it's not hard and rigid. Hope this helps. Works really nice.

I bought mine to take on a hike through the Yosemite back country, so I haven't used it yet and can't speak to its durability. It feels very soft and light. It's made of nylon. Machine washable and dryable. Made in Indonesia.

"Material: TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)", according to the manufacturer. It has a plastic feel.

It think it's polyester fleece. I returned mine, too bulky and difficult to re-pack
