Products

Where are your products made?

All of our soft goods are made in China and Vietnam, and our Carry-On is made in Taiwan with experienced manufacturers known for their high quality and craftsmanship. Our factories are committed to fair working hours/pay, proper living conditions, and strong workplace safety for our workers.

How do I clean my bag?

Please use a damp cloth and mild detergent or a disinfectant wipe to spot clean. Afterwards, hang dry outdoors or in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Do not machine wash your bag because this can lead to damage.

Are your bags waterproof?

All of our bags are triple-coated with polyurethane for water-resistance. However, "water-resistant" does not mean "waterproof" because the seams are not taped so water can still seep in under extended exposure to rain. We recommend a Rain Cover or an umbrella for rain showers. 

What is the difference between the 1680D Cordura® ballistic nylon, VX-42 X-Pac™ sailcloth by Dimension-Polyant® and Ultra400X by Challenge Sailcloth?

1680D Cordura, VX42 X-Pac, and Ultra 400X are all premium fabrics, but they differ in feel, construction, and performance.

1680D Cordura is a heavy-duty ballistic nylon known for its toughness and abrasion resistance, giving a classic technical look and durable everyday use.

VX-42 X-Pac is a laminated fabric that offers excellent structure, water resistance, and a slightly stiffer feel compared to Cordura.

Ultra 400X is a newer composite fabric made from UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) blended with recycled polyester, delivering the highest strength-to-weight ratio of the three, with outstanding abrasion resistance and water resistance while remaining lighter than Cordura or VX-42.

What is the difference between the 1680D Cordura® ballistic nylon and the Gray 700D Cordura® exterior?

The "D" stands for denier and it has to do with the thickness of the fibers. The bigger the number, the thicker the fibers. Functionally for daily use, the difference in durability and water-resistance is negligible. A standard backpack uses 100D-600D fabric, so both of our fabrics are considered extremely durable and abrasion-resistant. The main difference is in the look and feel of the fabric. The ballistic nylon looks more technical and has a slight sheen while the Gray is more lifestyle and matte.
