NOT ALL FABRIC IS EQUAL

Most bags use standard nylon. We chose differently. X-Pac is the same laminate used by offshore sailors, alpinists, and military operators, and we brought it to everyday carry without compromise.

FABRIC BUILT FOR EXTREMES

X-Pac is a technical laminate developed by Dimension-Polyant — a German sailcloth manufacturer with over 50 years of engineering materials for the harshest environments on earth. Originally designed for offshore racing sails, X-Pac bonds multiple performance layers together to create a fabric that is simultaneously ultralight, waterproof, and significantly stronger than conventional nylon or polyester.

It's used by expeditions crossing the Arctic, athletes competing in ultramarathons, and now in every bag MNL makes. Because we believe your everyday carry deserves the same material standard as your most demanding adventure.
