Fabrics:
Heavy Duty Nylon: which is shown in the picture, is the more popular of the two fabrics. Although it is heavier, flaggers have absolutely no problem with the weight and the thicker material will hold its color longer and can take much more punishment. The material is highly visible and is the gold standard for flaggers everywhere.
Lightweight Rip-Stop is the lighter of the 2 materials. It cleans much easier than the Heavy Duty Nylon because the dirt cannot stick to it making it ideal for dirt tracks. The lighter weight makes the flag easier on the wrist when in use and is still very strong. Used by flaggers everywhere.
Mounting:
Stapled on 5/8" Dowel: If this option is chosen, we staple the race flags to a perfectly smooth hard wood dowel with rounded ends. Our standard sizes are 32" and 28", if you prefer a different size, please let us know the "Special Instructions" Box.
Velcro on 5/8" Dowel: If this option is chosen, we sew one side of a velcro strip to the inside sleeve of the race flags then stapled the other side to a perfectly smooth hard wood dowel with rounded ends. This keeps the flag secure to the dowel but gives the user the option to remove the flag for cleaning, storage, etc.
Unmounted: This option includes NO dowel. The flags comes with a 1.5" white sleeve (closed at the top) for the user to insert any dowel of their choosing. This sleeve will fit any dowel 5/8" or smaller. If you need a larger sleeve, please let us know the size dowel you use in the "Special Instructions" Box.
Pole Sleeve:
Heavy Duty White Canvas is our standard flag material made to withstand the most punishment. We do not offer this flag with a decorative sleeve due to its weight.
