For me. Textured Nylon is a tragedy. It's Nylon that has been surface treated to feel like cotton.
It's a Peach type texture. You may see it advertised as tactel nylon. Absolutely revolting.

I hope the Nylon didn't suffer too long, while it was being thrashed.
lol

Buttons, Latex, PVC (Sorry I know that will offend many).
Gortex. Polyester instead of Nylon and Cagoules designed to be silent.
