    2019’S OVERNIGHT PACKS

    Sep 23, 2019 3 minutes
    - Alistair Hall

    Fabric

    Ripstop nylon, Cordura or polyester cotton canvas is common. All offer tear resistance and are coated with silicon to provide water resistance. Lighter fabrics are used on the pack upper, with heavier, 400 denier-plus, fabrics used in high-wear or stress areas such as the base of the pack.

    Shoulder STRAPS

    Flowing up and over the shoulder, they should be contoured around the neck and armpits to avoid chafing. Adjustable sternum straps slide into position to help stabilise the pack.
