Materials and Construction
Main Body: 630D NanoTough Recycled Nylon
The main body uses Bluesign-approved 630D NanoTough, made from 100% recycled high-tenacity nylon with ripstop reinforcement and a protective carbonate coating.
NanoTough technology is engineered for exceptional abrasion resistance while remaining lightweight. The ripstop weave limits tear propagation, and the carbonate coating enhances water resistance and structural durability for protection during transit and rough handling.
Bottom Panel: 840D NanoTough Recycled Nylon
The reinforced base features Bluesign-approved 840D NanoTough recycled high-tenacity nylon with a protective carbonate coating.
The higher-denier fabric strengthens high-impact areas, improving resistance against conveyor belts, gravel and repeated ground contact.
Liner: 210D Recycled Nylon
The interior lining is Bluesign-approved 100% recycled 210D nylon with a PFAS-free DWR treatment.
Lightweight yet durable, this lining supports responsible chemical management while helping repel light moisture without long-lasting fluorinated chemicals.
Bluesign-approved Build
Primary fabrics meet Bluesign approval standards, ensuring responsible chemical management, reduced water and energy use and safer manufacturing processes.
