FABRICS & MATERIALS
We use a range of technical fabrics for our bags and our bag liner is orange 210T.
CORDURA 1000D - ONLY FOR BAG EXTERIOR

XPAC™ - ONLY FOR BAG EXTERIOR

Xpac™ fabric is was originally designed as a high performance racing yacht sail fabric. It's an extremely strong non woven fabric, made of three layers bonded together.
VX-21 is less abrasion resistant, but more waterpoof & lighter than Cordura.
RIPSTOP NYLON (T210) - ONLY FOR INNER LINING
Ripstop nylon is a light-weight nylon fabric with interwoven ripstop reinforcement threads in a crosshatch pattern. It is woven with coarse, strong warp and filling yarns at intervals so that tears will not spread.
YKK AquaGuard® Water-Resistant Zippers from Japan
For years it has been standard to use regular coil chain in backpacks. But then leaders in the outdoor industry started implementing YKK’s AquaGuard® zippers The advantage of using a water-resistant chain is two-fold. Firstly, it elevates the look of the backpack. With most backpacks using treated materials to provide protection from the elements, the look of AquaGuard® zippers complement the bag’s form and function. Not only is the pack water-protected, but now it looks water protected with the addition of a coated zipper. Second, in many cases it removes the need for a flap or garage to cover the pack’s coil zipper since AquaGuard® zippers can provide the same protection to the contents of the bag.
