Whippet Mountain Gear uses X-Pac materials in the construction of our products.
It is light, waterproof, durable and very abrasion resistant. It isn’t bulletproof though, so if you really try you can put a tear or hole in it and water can creep through seams and stitching.
As an example, compared to burly 1000 denier Cordura, VX21 Cire is half the weight but has twice the abrasion resistance and is totally waterproof.
Our volume data are real and accurate, obtained by filling packs and bags with measured amounts of water.
X-Pac® is a brand of Dimension-Polyant.
Designed to Perform.
