Info

• ultraweave- the 200d and 400d variations of ultraweave consist of a 60% uhmwpe / 40% polyester woven face laminated (heated/glued) to a recycled polyester film. this material is inherently waterproof due to it being laminated to a film backing. the high percentage of uhmwpe on the outer face makes it highly abrasion resistant. gridstop will eventually wet out where ultraweave does much better at not retaining moisture.

• 210d uhmwpe gridstop- 92% nylon / 8% uhmwpe ripstop. dwr finish on outer and pu coating inside. gridstop holds up well to long term use because of its ability to slightly stretch which spreads loads in high stress areas. gridstop is very water resistant thanks to its pu coating but is not waterproof.

• uhmwpe grid mesh- 66% nylon/21% uhmwpe/ 13% spandex blend. we developed this mesh with our fabric mill in korea when other uhmwpe grid meshes were no longer being produced. this mesh is extremely durable and stretches a good amount.

• durable stretch woven- 88% nylon 12% spandex with a dwr finish. 4 way stretch.

• grid fleece- 100% polyester knit w/ grid pattern.

• robic nylon- 100% nylon. dwr finish on outer and pu coating inside. this nylon uses a high tenacity yarn that is more resistant to abrasion than standard nylon.

• we use a sewn binding to finish all seams.

• in our experience seam taping is very high cost and tends to be less durable bc it relies on glues or heat bonding which can degrade faster. sewn bindings are more durable and allow for easier repairs :)

• waterproofness- our packs are not fully waterproof, but do pretty well at keeping out light moisture. for thru-hiking/trips with heavy moisture we recommend using a waterproof packliner such as a trash compactor bag or nylofume.
