MIL-T-5661 Type I, II, III, V, VI Cotton webbing

This webbing is a standard commonly used in the manufacture of technical and military equipment such as harnesses and technical luggage.
Several types exist within this standard, each defined by a specific weave and finish, including treatments such as mold resistance.
Cotton has several characteristics that differ from synthetic fibers, making it the material of choice for:
– High-temperature environments: it does not melt but carbonizes.
– Medical applications: cotton is hypoallergenic, so it is used in cases of prolonged skin contact.
– Parachuting and airdrop systems: Cotton has very low elongation at break, so it is used in parachute deployment systems.
