Fabric Contrustion Notes:
The exterior face fabric is denoted by the 21 / 33 / 42 rating which is the denier of the fabric. A higher denier fabric such as 42 is heavier and provides better exterior abrasion resistance than a 21 fabric.
Comparing these fabrics to other pack fabrics here is a general guide.
X42 has a higher taber abrasion resistance rating than 500 D Cordura. It is termed a "rugged" fabric that is suitable for rock abrasion / hard use.
X33 is a 330 Denier Cordura faced fabric. It will provide exactly the same exterior performance as 330 Denier Cordura. It is a very good fabric at balancing weight and ruggedness.
X21 Fabrics have a 210 Denier face fabric. These perform very well through brush and timber but are not so good for rugged rock usage (rope hauls / slot canyons / talus and scree abrasion). These offer similar durability to most "recreational / non lightweight packs".
All fabrics will perform well for general trail based backpacking. The bulk of the suspension on all packs is 500 Denier Cordura, a fabric with a long record of durability and performace.
