Nylon 420D Ballshadow – The distinctive ripstop interlocking thread pattern and a PU coating for greater water resistance result in higher abrasion protection and tear strength. From a visual perspective, the relief-like surface structure has a very technical appearance. It is a design that doesn't compromise longevity.

Nylon 840D Ballistic – This strong yarn provides a great deal of abrasion protection and ensures longevity. This weave gives the fabric additional robustness and protects it from damage. Ideal for the ABS Series packs in areas which are expected to endure large applications of force.

Hypalon – Ortovox was one of the first companies to use hypalon in the construction of their packs. The material is now used anywhere that sharp, pointy things try to attack the backpack and backpacker alike. Hypalon is resistant to cold and virtually indestructible.
