What is a light, flexible, and durable fabric?

Question

I'm looking for a light, flexible, and durable fabric to make clothes out of? I can't find anywhere to buy kevlar and don't want to use denim. Thanks for the help.

What aspects of durability do you need? Abrasion resistance? Cut resistance? Bending resistance? Heat resistance? UV resistance?

If you can define your problem better, we've got a better chance of coming up with a workable solution. With no more information than you've given us, I'd suggest you consider cordura nylons.

And if you really want kevlar:
