Known globally for its advanced sailcloth and X-Pac brand of high-performance, weatherproof fabrics for packs and bags, Dimension-Polyant will introduce its latest development at Performance Days in Munich from October 29-30, at stand J20.

At the forefront will be X-Pac VX21 OE, the sustainable evolution of the company’s most popular fabric that’s trusted by many of the world’s leading pack and bag brands.

The face fabric of X-Pac VX21 OE, a four-layer laminate, is made from GRS-certified, 100% recycled regen Ocean Nylon sourced from discarded fishing nets. Offering the same strength and durability as conventional nylon, the material achieves a 73% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 76% decrease in fossil resource use compared to virgin alternatives.

Reinforced with Dimension-Polyant’s proprietary X-Ply fibre reinforcement technology made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET and backed by a lightweight, recycled taffeta for enhanced stitch-holding, X-PAC VX21 OE delivers long-lasting, waterproof performance. The laminate is finished with the highest-performing non-fluorinated DWR for reliable protection in all conditions. Fabric colours include black, white, arctic grey and sea green.

“Brands are excited about X-Pac VX21 OE because it’s waterproof, incredibly durable and engineered with a purpose,” says Taylor North, Dimension-Polyant global head of technical fabrics. “Early adopters like Peak Design, whose award-winning Everyday Backpack is made with the fabric, have received great feedback from consumers and the industry alike.”

The company will also highlight its X-Pac RX30, a next-generation three-layer laminate designed for balanced performance in both outdoor and urban environments.

Constructed entirely from 100% recycled materials, X-Pac RX30 combines a post-consumer polyester face fabric made from recycled PET bottles with Dimension-Polyant’s distinctive recycled X-Ply fibre reinforcement for added strength flexibility and waterproof performance. A lightweight recycled polyester film backing gives the fabric a sleek, technical aesthetic suited to both the trail and the city. Like all new X-Pac materials, it’s finished with a high-performing, non-fluorinated DWR coating.

X-Pac RX30 is available in 12 colorways including black, white, slate, cayenne, coyote brown, evergreen, ocean blue, alpenglow, bluebell, goldenrod, plum, and sea foam, and its newest color, moss.

“With X-Pac RX30, we set out to design a fabric that captures the spirit of modern adventure that’s technical, timeless and responsibly made,” says North. “Leading brands like Alpaka and Arkel and Tom Bhin are being drawn to its clean aesthetic, multiple colorways and fully recycled construction.”

Both laminates are produced at Dimension-Polyant’s in-house US facility, ensuring full quality control from concept to finished fabric.
