Denier is a unit of measurement that is used to determine the thickness of a fiber, individual threads or filaments used in the creation of textiles and fabrics. Fabrics with a high denier count tend to be thick, sturdy, and durable. Fabrics with a low denier count, like our 210, tend to be sheer, soft, and silky. Even with the lower count, this fabric repels water and resists rips and tears.
