Flag guide says fabric weight alone fails to predict durability

A flag-buying guide argues that fabric weight alone is a poor measure of durability; fabric choice must be considered alongside construction and the flag’s intended conditions and use. Polyester is presented as the general-purpose outdoor option for its printability, reasonable UV resistance, and suitable body, while lighter nylon flies in gentler breezes, dries quickly, and produces vivid color but may be less suited to harsh conditions. The guide says fabric must display designs well, withstand weather and wear, and suit whether a flag will fly outdoors or hang indoors.
