Where can I buy clothing made of polypropylene? What kind of clothes have polypropylene?

Question

I need to use polypropylene for my science fair project and I don't know where to go get.

What stores can I buy polypro clothing from? Foot Locker? what else? I would buy it online but I need polypro cloth by 12/31/06.

Answer 1

Go to any military surplus store, outdoor sports store or the like. Polypro is used by both the military and outdoorsman around the world for it's great thermal properties without being bulky. The only catch to it, is that it provides no protection against fire and actually melts to the skin if you do come in contact with fire,causing extensive injury. Depending on the use and activity you have in mind it can be effective as socks, pants, shirts, hats and in some cases even gloves. Good luck in your search. I'd suggest looking at stores geared towards hunting and the like for your best selection of commercial items.
