By far the greatest weight saving can be made by using a lighter envelope fabric. For the same price as our regular ripstop, the weight of your balloon can be up to 30% depending on the type and size of balloon required.
Other specifications like flat-webbing tapes, 3mm diameter flying wires and lightweight crown-line will all compliment your choice.
Why not include Kevron load tapes? they are immensely strong and very light weight, offering a further 4% reduction in weight from our standard envelopes. These 'tapes' are encapsulated within the seams, to protect them from damaging UV rays.

Each balloon envelope is built from individual “blocks” of fabric called panels, which are grouped into vertical “stripes” known as gores.
All balloons require regular maintenance and servicing which keeps balloon-systems working well and enables years of happy flying – maintenance usually takes place after 100 flying hours or 12months whichever is sooner. Airworthiness Inspection & Maintenance Manual (UK).
Cameron Balloons fabrics have anti-mould, anti-mildew and anti-UV degradation agents added to them to prolong the life and colour of our balloons. Fluorocarbon is also added to the outside face of the fabric to defend the fabric from moisture, dirt and debris.
Excellence really is our lowest standard; exemplary quality, proven reliability and attentive service are some of Cameron Balloons key and constantly striven for company goals.
Our range of complete balloons, airships and lighter-than-air craft are all fully certified and approved.
