Stringbean Bags sources the highest quality technical fabrics so your next adventure goes off without a hitch! These fabrics have been chosen for their toughness and water-resistant characteristics.
X-Pac® VX21
X-Pac® is the world’s most popular laminated pack fabric and X-Pac® VX21 is 100% climate neutral. The low-stretch, 100% waterproof construction consists of four layers; a 210-denier abrasion-resistant face fabric, an X‑PLY® fiber reinforcement for waterproofness, a lightweight taffeta backing for enhanced stitch-hold, and a woven backing.
Stringbean Bags uses X-Pac® VX21 as one of the primary fabrics for our bags. It has been proven to perform for years and provides an ideal balance of weight and durability.

ECOPAK ™
ECOPAK™ from Challenge Sailcloth is the world's first 100% recycled laminated pack fabric - designed from the ground up to meet or exceed the technical properties of traditional laminated nylon while also being good for the environment. ECOPAK™ starts with a 100% recycled REPREVE polyester face, then adds a proprietary 100% recycled film to make everything waterproof. An environmentally friendly, PFC-free C0 DWR also provides water resistance to the face fabric.
ECOPAK™ offers the same qualities and feel as VX21, but is lighter, more water resistant, and is manufactured with 100% recycled polyester. Each yard of ECOPAK™ fabric uses at least 20 recycled plastic bottles in the production process and emits 50% less CO2 than nylon, saving over a pound of CO2 per yard. In addition, the production uses no solvents, fluorocarbons, or ovens, and creates no wastewater.
It absorbs 80% less moisture than traditional laminated nylon and is 97% more UV resistant, which means it lasts five times longer in the sun than conventional film used in other fabrics - a big breakthrough in extending performance.
