Used in the NWD and DyneemaŽ Packs.
210d DyneemaŽ laminated in a five ply sandwich with dacron X-Pac for rip resistance and structural stability. This fabric is 200 psi waterproof.
Cordura / DyneemaŽ 210d Ripstop:
Found in all V2.5 and earlier upper side panels
This material is a 210d Cordura with a DyneemaŽ ripstop pattern. The DyneemaŽ is the white grid pattern. This material is also used in the lids.
Cordura / DyneemaŽ 500d Ripstop:
Found in all V3 upper side panels
This material is a 500d Cordura with a DyneemaŽ ripstop pattern. The DyneemaŽ is the white grid pattern. This material is unbelievable robust. We've switched to it in our ongoing goal of reducing waste: with this material, V3 WorkSacks should easily last more than 500 days in the field. It makes the packs a bit less than four ounces heavier, but the returns to our environment are substantial.
Parachute Cloth SilNylon 1.1oz:
Found in all extensions
This material is a 30d cordura impregnated with silicone on both sides to provide moderate self-healing properties and superior water resistance. This material is also used in the hydration bladder pocket.
Heavy Parachute Cloth SilNylon 1.9oz:
Found in Lids and Internal Lid Pockets
The designers of this material use it to drop tanks and relief supplies from airplanes. We use this 70d cordura impregnated with silicone on both sides to provide moderate self-healing properties and superior water resistance in the V3 Lids and Internal Lid Pockets.
SilNylon Oxford210d Cordura:
Found in the bottom of the Internal Lid Pocket except the V2.5 45L
This material is a 210d Cordura oxford. Despite the famous antecedants of this Silicon Impregnated Cordura material, this is the simplest cloth used in our packs, and is used for the frame pockets in the packs.
SilNylon Taffeta210d Cordura:
Found in the framesheet pockets of the V3 packs
This material is a Silicon impregnated 210d Cordura Taffeta. This lightweight material is the lightest available fabric that stood up to our extensive field tests for fabrics for the framesheet pockets.
210d DyneemaŽ Oxford:
We use woven 210d DyneemaŽ in our woven DyneemaŽ Packs. This is the world's best material for making packs, and while it is extremely expensive, it's also more abrasion resistant, stronger and significantly lighter than anything else. We're one of just a few companies selected by DSM to make packs out of this material. It is 200 psi waterproof. We also use it on the bottom of our non woven DyneemaŽ packs.
