220 denier
What does that mean?
First hit on google for "220 denier": https://www.paradisebuying.com/feat...paque-stripe-tights-pantyhose-220-denier.html
well it is what the inner bladder is made of. I also googled it and found quite a bit that explained it further.
What exactly are you trying to find out? If just thickness I can measure it but why? It could be thick as all get out and still not be durable if the right material wasn't used. In addition the outer bladder plays into things...
I was just trying to understand your answer. I thought I understood "220 denier" to be a fabric material, perhaps nylon, and requires some type of coating to be sealed. I understood 220 to be a relatively light material. Many BCDs that I am familiar with are bladderless, being made of coated nylon materials - often 220 or 440 denier. I do have one wing that has a nylon shell and a urethane bladder. I don't believe I have seen a BCD that uses an outer shell and a separate inner bladder that also uses a denier material. I agree, thickness is not necessarily the key. I would probably focus more on durability, puncture resistance, and weight.
