Materials
What our gear is made of
Every piece of Bearly gear is built from a specific, named engineering polymer chosen for the job it has to do — not generic “plastic.” These are the material classes we build with, described the way an engineer would describe them, with the property figures that set each one apart. Everything here is made in Texas, USA.
Each card names a material class and its two standout properties. Open a card for the full breakdown — how it stacks up against the others across strength, stiffness, toughness and heat, plus what those numbers mean for real gear.
- PET-CFPET-CF — carbon-fiber-reinforced PETA carbon-fiber-reinforced PET engineering polymer. Roughly 17% short carbon fiber by weight gives it the highest stiffness and the highest heat-deflection point of anything we build with, while staying light. This is the backbone material of the Bearly Defense line.65.9 MPaTensile strength147.5 °CHeat deflection (0.45 MPa)View full breakdown →
- ASAASAA weather-stable engineering polymer built for life outdoors. It shrugs off sun, heat and knocks far better than commodity plastics — the toughest, most impact-resistant material in our lineup, and the one that stays put in the sun and rain.10.3 kJ/m²Impact strength (notched)73.4 MPaFlexural strengthView full breakdown →
- PETGPETGA tough, chemically resistant everyday polymer with very low moisture uptake. Forgiving and durable, it takes handling and damp in stride — used here for a single keychain color.31.9 MPaTensile strength0.54%Water absorptionView full breakdown →
