Fabric
The bear works best when built using relatively heavy 56gsm (1.3smoz; 1.65 oz per sq yd) fabric as it helps with stability when flying them and gives a bit of wear resistance when using them for ground display.
Note:The black and grey fabric used for the polar bear can be lighter weight and taken from your scraps bin. However if you are making a black bear then the dark brown needs to be 56gsm.
