Interested in this thread .
Although “ Sunbrella “ is the mkt leader and popular, you see it everywhere at boat shows it’s the texture side comments from JFM that are illuminating.
We are thinking about a recovering the upholstery outside ,not desperate just flying kites .
I like what we have it cleans up easily from red rain and importantly morning condensation because it’s a just plane vinyl .
At a boat show in the Med I did sit on some pale , silver and yellow what looked like Sunbrella and it was hot , far hotter to the thighs then my bianco plastic - strange ?
Now this is the perculiar thing it’s does not stick to your skin .
I ,know counterintuitive.But the broker went to great lengths to explain its the same stuff fitted to Bertram’s .Not sure what he meant tbo .
I,ve tracked down the supplier ( via XL yachts the occupiers of the Roma old Roma Itama factory) they are in Venice .
We are still in gather info mode at the mo .Leaning towards OEM as I,ve found them .
Here’s a pic and it’s really is none sticky , soft and easy clean ,wipe down ,none textured for plain bianco .
Sites not playing with Dir pic upload today grrr !!

You can see the softness of it if you look carefully, it not got that taught hard sticky PVC feeling .
