X-Pac® from Dimension Polyant
X-Pac® is a backpack fabric inspired by modern high-tech sail laminates. The manufacturer, Dimension Polyant, has been a specialist in innovative and reliable fabrics for sailing for over 50 years. Naturally, all of this expertise has been incorporated into the X-Pac® laminates, resulting in reliable fabrics optimized for a wide range of applications, including backpacks, bags, frame bags, and many other applications. X-Pac® is always 100% waterproof, extremely robust and has an excellent durability-to-weight ratio.
Depending on the construction, X-Pac® fabrics are divided into three lines: X4, X3 and LS:
X-Pac® X4 styles
The 4-layer construction of the X-4 laminates consists of an outer fabric, the X-Pac® X-Ply reinforcement fibers, a waterproof polyester film (except for the soft versions with a softer feel) and a lightweight lining on the inside.

X-Pac® X3 styles
The 3-layer X3 line does not have an additional lining on the inside. This means that the transparent polyester film is on the inside and the X-Ply fibers remain visible from the inside. Since the smooth film is exposed, the seams on these models are easy to seal.
