Comparing inexpensive poly and "super polyester" flags.

I decided to try out a few super poly flags from United States Flagstore. They're only a few bucks more than the cheap ones on Ebay. They're a little heavier and don't fly quite as good, but better than nylon. The colors are a little more vibrant. And they are almost like a mesh-see pics. The 2nd one is the super poly-union of Australia flag. They both were shot with the macro lens focused to the same reproduction ratio.

Thanks for sharing, when I read the title I was thinkingyou were going to go into one of the more confusing things when getting started in the world of flag collecting . "How can poly be both the cheapest and the best aterial" (at least according to dealer ads) With both the cheap eBay flags and the wind-resistant sewn poly (Tough Tex) type flags.

Also, I have a coworker going to Australia, e is supposed to bring me back a flag, we'll see how that goes.

I was referring to the super poly flags that are sold for $10.95 on that website. I got a better picture of the material on the Aussie flag.
