Weight: 700g - Volume: 18l - Materials: 1000d Cordura® Nylon - Recommended Load: < 8kg Technology: CORDURA® fabric: - CORDURA® fabric is what many of the most respected brands and retailers around the world use when they need to make a product that’s durable, versatile and reliable. Constructed using high tenacity fiber technologies, weight for weight, CORDURA® fabrics are exceptionally durable. PFC-FREE DWR: - PFC (perfluorocarbon) is mainly used in outdoor applications when a water-repellent effect is required (impregnation). Harmful PFCs such as, PFOS (perfluorooctane sulphonic acid) and PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) accumulate in the environment and organisms, which has a lasting negative effect on them. Since the water-repellent characteristics of BACH textiles are of central importance for the use of our products, we are now using the PFC-free alternative from HeiQ Eco Dry. Not far from us in Switzerland, HeiQ is developing this technology, which has been successfully established in a wide spectrum of textile applications in recent years. At BACH, we therefore guarantee a long-lasting and sustainable impregnation of all textiles used. YKK-ZIPPERS: - Little parts - big difference! Wherever applicable we use no. 10 zippers and don’t go smaller than no. 5. Since we started over 40 years ago, we have resisted the temptation to use smaller sizes and cheaper brands and this decision has proven to be right over the years. We always use the zipper chain on the visible outside because it lasts 30% longer than the zipper chain used inside out, with the webbing on the outside. We only use silver nickel-plated zipper sliders, as these have a longer lifetime compared to their coloured counterparts (no matter if powder-coated or with any other dying technology).
