    Speaking from Arizona where nothing last long in our 125°f heat and 15 hours of sun light every summer day. Skip bonded nylon every time and use poly thread.
    Nylon is stronger with no UV resistance.
    The canvas I sew goes 5+years before any stitching starts to show flaws.
    My boat cover failed after 11 years but the 138 black thread was still going strong
