Is a nylon flag an all-weather flag?

Nylon flags have certainly earned the nickname as being "all weather flags." Nylon is a resistant, fast drying material, holding its own against the natural elements it faces when outdoors. These flags are fade resistant to sunlight and have low friction in the wind while also drying quickly from getting wet. All of these aid and are the reasons why nylon has earned its reputation as the "all weather flag."

Which is better for a flag polyester or nylon?

The choice between polyester and nylon for a flag really comes down to a matter of price, personal preference and where you are going to put your flag. It should be noted that there are two types of polyester flags we sell, printed and sewn polyester. Printed polyester flags are the more economical, meaning they don't cost as much as their nylon or sewn polyester counterparts, but they also have a traditionally shorter life span and are intended to be used indoors and outdoors. Sewn polyester is the most expensive option but is also one of the heaviest and most durable flags we sell. Sewn polyester will also require more wind to "fly," traditionally than a nylon or printed polyester flag. These materials are also quite different in aesthetics or looks and feel in that nylon tends to be looked at more favorably than printed polyester. Nylon flags are great if you plan on flying your flag outdoors as it handles sunshine, moisture and wind well and will last longer than a printed polyester flag in the same situation, but not as long as sewn polyester. There really is no right or wrong answer as far as what is better, and all have their merits. A sewn polyester flag will last longer than a nylon flag and a nylon flag will last longer than a printed polyester flag.
