In the world of outdoor gear, materials play a crucial role. Lightweight, waterproof, and durable features define the quality of a product. X-Pac is one such material that has elevated comfort and reliability to a new level. What makes it so unique?
X-Pac is a multi-layered laminated material created by Dimension-Polyant. Originally developed for sailing, where strength and waterproofing are critical, its name reflects the “cross-pattern” of the reinforced grid, which provides added tear resistance. Over time, X-Pac transitioned from the sea to the mountains as manufacturers recognized its potential and began using it in backpacks, bags, and urban accessories.
Key Features of X-Pac:
- Durability: Thanks to the polyester reinforced grid, the material boasts high resistance to mechanical damage.
- Waterproofing: A polyurethane layer ensures protection even in heavy rainfall.
- Color Options: Available in various colors, making it suitable for stylish urban accessories and functional outdoor gear.
- UV Resistance: Retains its properties even under prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Variations of X-Pac:
X-Pac comes in several variants, each designed for specific applications:
- VX21: Strong and wear-resistant, often used for backpacks.
- VX07: Lighter and thinner, ideal for urban backpacks or internal compartments.
- X50: Adds an external Cordura layer for enhanced abrasion resistance.
- VX42: Features a more robust layer with thicker fibers, providing increased tear and puncture resistance.
We actively explore and utilize X-Pac in our waist bags and backpacks and will continue to create products with this material. Stay tuned for updates!
