X‑Pac®
Laminated fabric built for lightweight, structured gear
X-Pac is a high-performance laminated fabric commonly used in outdoor gear like backpacks, bikepacking bags, and travel accessories. Originally developed for sailcloth, which explains its strength and weather resistance.
Four Layers, One Fabric
X-Pac is made from multiple bonded layers, each one contributing a specific performance characteristic.
How It's Constructed
X-Pac is made from multiple bonded layers. Each layer is permanently laminated to the next, creating a composite that won't delaminate in use.
The result is a fabric that holds its shape under load, resists water at every layer, and maintains its structure over years of hard use, all at a fraction of the weight you'd expect.
The distinctive "X" pattern visible on the inner face isn't just aesthetic. It's a structural grid that distributes stress and prevents tear propagation.
