Ameritex Fabric Systems introduced WeatherGuard™, a new solution-dyed polyester fabric, to the marine industry. The soft and pliable fabric will maintain its color even when exposed to the elements for long periods of time.

Don Zirkelbach, president of Ameritex Fabric Systems, said WeatherGuard is strong, durable and a cost-effective solution for boatbuilders looking for an alternative to some higher priced name brands.

“WeatherGuard has all the necessary characteristics that a good marine fabric needs. It can be used for boats of any shape or size, protecting boaters and their boats for years to come,” Zirkelbach said.
