The first item (A), white in color, consists of a 100% polyester woven mesh fabric that has been laminated on both sides with a PVC plastics material. The second item (B) is similar in construction except that it is orange in color. Item (C) consists of a 100% woven polyester fabric that has been laminated on one side with a red pigmented PVC plastics material.
