    Dayglow Orange is the colour used internationally, and the fade rate must be minimised by the use of
    jet dying the fabric. This is uniquely undertaken for the POLYESTER Dayglow material used in
    McWilliam Windsocks.
    The POLYESTER material is woven specially to our specification for windsock use. Nylon is
    unsuitable because it fades and rots rapidly due to UV degradation in sunlight. This is especially seen
    in the Middle East, Far East, North Africa and Central America.
    Only McWilliam Windsocks are made from the above materials and processes which are specially
    undertaken for our own windsocks.
    All our windsocks are designed and made using CAD/CAM technology to assure consistency of shape
    and size.
