Aqualon is an affordable and durable vinyl coated polyester marine fabric that weighs 9 oz. per square yard. Aqualon offers a manufacturer's 5 year limited warranty to not crack, peel, harden, discolor, or flake.
Top Gun is a woven polyester coated on BOTH side with a specially formulated polymeric coating. The interesting feature of Top Gun is that it is somewhat breathable despite being coated however venting is strongly suggested. It is 11 oz. per square yard so it is a slightly heavier fabric than Aqualon which is something to consider on a larger boat.
Probably the most well known acrylic fabric on the market. Sunbrella is a “water resistant” marine fabric which means it is not water proof on its own. Sunbrella is treated with a flurorocarbon finish called 303 Fabric Guard which is designed to last several years during the manufacturing process that should be reapplied occasionally to ensure the best results and longest lifespan. Sunbrella recommends treating the product "after each thorough cleaning" which they describe as needing done after 5 years of use.
