HD Raid Pack 2.0 Backpack, X-Pac X50, 28L

The Raid Pack 2.0 built in Dimension-Polyant X-Pac X50: a US-made laminate that is stiffer, waterproof and harder to tear than standard Cordura.

Same 28-liter panel-loading layout, same harness, same organization as the Raid Pack 2.0. The difference is the shell. X-Pac X50 bonds a 500D Cordura face to an aramid X-Ply reinforcement grid and a waterproof polyester film, so the pack holds its shape when half empty and keeps rain out without a cover.

Materials

Dimension-Polyant X-Pac X50, made in the USA. Four layers: 500D Cordura face, aramid X-Ply grid for tear strength and structure, polyester film waterproof barrier (13.8+ bar hydrostatic head), DWR finish. Chosen for people who pack heavy, travel wet, or want a bag that stands up on its own.

140D ripstop lining, oversized YKK zippers, polymer hardware.
