We carefully select materials for our products or tailor them to our exact specifications.
We make sure that all of our products are lightweight and made of the best possible materials to ensure the utmost functionality and quality.
OUTER MATERIALS
The best backpacks and bags are durable, abrasion-resistant, rain covers, in particular. lightweight, and waterproof (or water-resistant). We use various types of fabrics with different weaves and thicknesses that optimally support the specific function of each product.

NP 3324 FD
Extremely abrasion resistant yet super lightweight, this high-quality nylonpolyester mix with PU coating on the inside endures even the harshest abuse yet feels soft to the touch and has a slick matte look.
TASLAN
Our high-end fabric, that sports an excellent low weight/stability ratio. Thanks to its special weave using thick and thin yarn, it is particularly tear-resistant and retains its shape, while the PU coating makes it completely waterproof.
N 210D RIPSTOP HD
This high-density nylon fabric with ripstop construction is extremely lightweight, abrasion-resistant, and incredibly tear-resistant. The crosshatch weave pattern ensures that potential tears do not spread. Water-repellent coating.
N 420D HD
This nylon is ideal for use whenever a high degree of durability and abrasion resistance is required. The robust, high-quality fabric is remarkably lightweight and finished with a waterresistant inner coating.
N 100D SHADOW BOX
Our lightest fabric for all backpacks that need to be lightweight. The extremely tear-resistant relief-like structure is a result of how it is woven. The PU coating makes it water-resistant.
TAFFETA
We use this light, durable and completely waterproof fabric for our The best backpacks and bags are durable, abrasion-resistant, rain covers, in particular.
P 600D
Where usage involves high wear and tear, such as with bag bases or BIKE BAGS, we use this tear-resistant and lightweight polyester fabric. Waterrepellent finish and even dirt simply rolls off the fabric.
US 1000D CORDURA
This exceptionally strong cordura fabric is practically indestructible. What really sets this material apart is its durability and protection, but it also scores high points for its low weight. Water-repellent thanks to a special coating.
NY200D X NT600D
This extremely robust, abrasionresistant, 100% waterproof outer material made from a nylon-polyester mix (71% nylon, 29% polyester) also comes with PU and TPU coating, which makes it the perfect choice for products which will see high wear and tear, such as our BIKE PACKING bags.
N6 420D R/S
The lightweight yet incredibly durable and abrasion-resistant Polyamid textile made of high-end Nylon 6 fibers can take the hardest abuse and is therefore used in our photo range. Thanks to the 5mm Ripstop webbing it is specifically tear-resistant. Water-repellant and PFC-free.
ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS
An important pillar in the process of reducing our environmental footprint is the use of sustainable materials. In doing so, we research and work with the best and most innovative suppliers worldwide to find materials that meet our high quality standards while being more resource-efficient and environmentally friendly.

POLY 600D 2-TONE WR W/TPU
For our heavy-duty EVOC products, we use this TPU-coated fabric. It is relatively light, extremely temperature-resistant, and completely waterproof. That makes it perfect to withstand all the knocks and scrapes that come with travelling. And the best: It is 100 % free of PVCs and PFCs.
100 % RECYCLED P 300D X 600D
Our most resource-efficient and energy-conserving outer material: The Polyester is made entirely from recycled, pre-consumer waste and scores with its nice and silky touch while being utterly robust and durable. Finished with a high-quality PU-coating, making it dirt- and water-repellent.
LITESHIELD FLEX
A highly flexible thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) blend that we developed and adapted to the protector geometry. Compared to the twocomponent foams that are often used in protectors, our TPE has the advantages of being recyclable, using less energy during production, and creating minimal residual waste thanks to an injection molding process.
S.LEISURE™
A functional polyester fabric that is fastdrying, highly breathable, and flexible. Thanks to its water- and energy-saving production process, it has a significantly lower environmental footprint than similar textiles. Moreover, the bluesign® certified fabric is recyclable because its elasticity is achieved mechanically rather than through the use of elastane. Finished with the odour-neutralizing S.Café® technology that is also eco-friendly.
S.CAFÉ®-GARN
An especially resource-efficient and highly functional yarn. In a patented, energy-saving process, coffee grounds are fused with recycled PET at low temperatures and high pressure. The yarn is transformed into a moisture-absorbing, fastdrying polyester fabric that provides excellent odour control. It can be recycled and is solution-dyed and bluesign®, OEKO-TEX®, Cradle to Cradle®, and GRS certified.
MIPAN® REGEN NYLON
MIPAN® regen is a GRS certified, regenerated nylon yarn that we use for the fast-drying, highly breathable, high-performance functional material of our PROTECTOR VEST PRO. It’s made from 100% recycled production waste from chip manufacturing, thereby saving valuable resources.
RECYCLED TAFFETA
Our recycled taffeta is waterproof, lightweight, and truly durable. Moreover, it’s PFC-free.
50% RECYCLED N 500 D
Very comfortable to the touch thanks to the special surface treatment (peaching), this material also displays a hight degree of durability and abrasion resistance. 50% recycled Polyamid and water-resistant with a water column of 1,500 mm thanks to the PU coating and PFC-free finish.
FINISHING MATERIALS
For detailed information on the equipment materials expand text.
MESH
During exercise, heat is generated, which should be wicked away from the body through appropriate ventilation. Depending on the scope of application, we use different, highly efficient mesh fabrics that ensure maximum air circulation, yet do not absorb moisture:
-
- AIR MESH
- 3D AIR MESH
- HONEYCOMB MESH
NEOPRENE
Neoprene exhibits flexibility and stability at the same time, and therefore offers exceptionally good grip – over a wide temperature range, and in wet and dry conditions. We use it for our lightweight SKI and BOARD COVERs.
AIRO FLEX
With its origin in medical device technology, this extremely sturdy premium material has everything to justify its use in our top-quality hip belts: exceptionally flexible, completely air-permeable, and yet sufficiently sturdy to keep the backpack in place with the load as close as possible to the body’s centre of gravity.
TREATMENTS & FINISHES
Our materials are finished with high-quality coatings that extend their lifespan and enhance the quality of our products. The coatings used on our lightweight outer materials provide protection from dirt and stains and prevent moisture from penetrating.
- PU COATING
- TEFLON COATING
- DURABLE WATER REPELLENCY
For detailed information on treatments and finishes expand text.
POLYGIENE ODORCRUNCH™
Natural, silica-based odor absorbing technology that keeps fabrics smell fresh for longer and reduces the amount of washing required.
POLYGIENE STAYFRESH™
Antibacterial, freshness technology that is embedded in textiles and inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, so garments need less washing, saving water, energy and wear and tear.
ECO-FRIENDLY TREATMENTS & FINISHES
In addition to textiles made from S.Café® yarn, we use a finish with S.Café® technology on other fabrics to neutralize unpleasant odours. Coffee grounds have numerous microscopic pores that absorb odours in a chemical-free, long-lasting way. For this purpose, an extract is obtained from used coffee grounds from local cafés in a patented process that exploits precisely this natural, odour-absorbing ability and can then be used in textiles.
LININGS
By linings we mean our lining and inner materials that are used in our bags and backpacks. We vary these, too, according to the intended use for the bag or backpack, and ensure they are colourcoordinated so that the design experience can continue to be appreciated once they are opened up.
For detailed information on linings expand text.
POLYESTER 210 TAFETTA
Our TRAVEL Line linings are soft and silky to touch and hold their shape well thanks to the fine web structure of the fabric. Ideal protection for clothing and personal equipment. The extra coating ensures it is robust enough for sports travel, too.
QUILT CUSH
A very soft, velvety and padded 3-layered material. It protects sensitive contents and is therefore used in the laptop compartment of our MISSION PRO.
POLYESTER 200D
Particularly robust and with an extra coating for enhanced resistance to wear and tear, our first choice for tool, hydration bladder and avalanche compartments and the like.
