Soltis is another fabric from Serge Ferrari. It is a mesh fabric and comes in a variety of shade levels. We use the 86 for most of our sunshades and awnings (the 96 is really shady but hard to see through) Soltis is a very high performance material- it is designed for shade awnings that are in the sun every day for years (usually over 10 years).
Pros-
- Very long life
- Variety of colors
- super durable
- Compact/ easily folds which is great for sunshades that have to be stowed.
- The 86 mesh is perfect for sunshades on a boat, shades a lot of the sun out, but also can see out of it easily.
Cons
- Very expensive
Best uses are sunshades, window covers, ect
