I need to know really quickly what the difference is between polypropelene webbing and nylon webbing. I am in charge of making 150 duffel bags for a project and these bags will carry mostly clothing and a sleeping bag. I want it to be durable as they will be getting lots of use.

NYLON Webbing is mostly used for Marine and Equine applications, has a high UV-rating which is great for outdoors, and costs more. POLYPROPYLENE Webbing is suggested for Recreational products such as back packs, sport equipment bags, duffel bags and apparel (Also for pet Leashes and Collars). It also comes in many strength (thickness and width), and in a greater Color choice; more economically priced too. I've used it to make Ski-Bags for my kids and their friends, etc, etc.
