OUR RUCKSACK FABRICS
OUR RUCKSACK FABRICS
TESTED AND PROVEN, TRIED AND TRUE
When it comes to the materials we use to build our gear, we don’t play around, we don’t skimp out. We only choose fabrics that meet our standards of durability, strength, and performance. After continuous testing, we are proud to give you fabrics that create the world’s toughest gear and feel good when you’re rucking.
CORDURA®
Used In: Travel Rucksacks, Training Rucksacks, Train with Sand Equipment, Travel Accessories
CORDURA® is one of the preferred materials of the U.S. military. It’s Special Forces proven, which is why we’ve trusted this fabric since the beginning and used it to build our original line of rucksacks.
Weight: 150-348 GSM (Grams per Square Meter) - Light to Midweight
Durability: High
WAXED CANVAS // HERITAGE
Used In: Travel Rucksacks, Gym Bag, Kit Bag, Ruck Accessories
The use of 10.10oz Army Duck Canvas can be traced all the way back to the mid-19th century. Army Duck canvas is a medium-weight, versatile fabric. It is constructed with an incredibly tight weave of yarn, making it tough and resistant to tearing. The extra layer of wax protects the fabric from the different elements you may encounter, and makes the fabric waterproof, yet allows it to sweat vapor and still not stiffen or yellow over time. It only looks better with age and use.
Weight: 342 GSM - Midweight
Durability: Mid to High
RIPSTOP ROBIC®
Used In: Travel Rucksacks, Gym Bag, Kit Bag, Ruck Accessories
ROBIC® is the lightest weight fabric we use to build our rucks. It is specifically designed to perform and be used under more severe conditions. ROBIC nylon is up to 50% stronger with up to 2.5x the tear strength compared to standard nylon 6 fabrics. That means it’s hard to break and tough to rip. Additionally, this fabric has a special waterproof coating that will last longer than other traditional PU coatings. All of these features ensure your gear is durable, tear-resistant, and waterproof, all at half the weight.
Weight: 135-245 GSM - Lightweight
Durability: High Tear Resistance
DYNEEMA®
Used In: Travel Rucksacks and Kit Bag
An ultra-lightweight fabric made of flexible, non-woven composite laminates reinforced with Dyneema® Fibers. Dyneema® is 15 times stronger than steel and 40% stronger than its main rival, Kevlar. This also gives it a crazy high tear strength, around five times higher than a like-for-like fabric made using HT-Nylon. It has incredible abrasion resistance and is extremely lightweight.
Weight: 234 GSM - Lightweight
Durability: Highly Tear and Abrasion Resistant
