We use a wide range (too many maybe!) of fabrics designed to take a beating on your #adventure and give you years of faithful service!
Read all about them below!
An important note about bags and water -
All the fabrics listed below are technically waterproof, however since all our products are sewn (i.e. stabbed over and over again with a needle), the bags themselves are NOT waterproof!
This means that if you’ve got something that absolutely must stay dry in your HUNGRY bag, it should be stored inside a proper seam sealed dry bag.
The capacity to waterproof is beyond our scale at the moment. Maybe one day!
EcoPak
ECOPAK™ is the world’s only durable and waterproof fabric made from 100% recycled polyester fiber and film. Each yard (I know, wtf is a yard) upcycles about 20 plastic water bottles into durable technical textiles.
We use EPX200 for bag outer layers - this is a lighter weight material so if you’re particularly into thrashing your gear we recommend a heavier fabric. EPX200 comes in lots of colours!
EPX400 is a heavier and tougher version of EPX200.
EPLX600 Re/cor is a 600d recycled cordura fabric laminate. It’s got a softer hand feel and more abrasion resistance than the EPX200. Available in Marigold only (premium!)
All HUNGRY bags are lined with 300d Polyester in fluro orange. It’s got a DWR and a PU coating. It’s not recycled unfortunately.
Also available is Challenge UltraGrid - 100% recycled nylon grid fabric, reinforced with ULTRA! It’s tough as, but it has a softer feel and isn’t as structured as the EPX200. It’s very cool!!
I’ve got EPLX600 Multicam (NOT BLACK!) available too!
Xpac
VX21 is pretty much the same as EcoPak, but it ain’t recycled. Pretty trad colours. Kinda cool.
X50 is a 500d Cordura face fabric with a waterproof film on the back. Multicam Alpine only.
LS42 LiteSkin is a whacky high tech 420 (nice) denier fabric with a non-woven face.
Canvas
We use a medium weight poly(65)/cotton(35) canvas that is woven and proofed in Australia!
It has a classic feel and is very durable! It will patina very nicely with use and will last a lifetime. It’s lush! Would recommend.
Current colours are Black, Brown, Sand, Khaki, Maroon and Brunswick Green.
X15 Cotton Duck is a HEAVY 15oz canvas laminated with an X-ply and Polyurethane film on the inside. Comes in ROBUST ORANGE only. Maddest fabric.
I’ve got AusCam fabric too! It’s a heavy poly/cotton canvas that is coated on the inside. It’s cool!
1000d Nylon
Essentially unbranded Cordura. Super tough, soft feel and a classic pack fabric. Especially good for high abrasion applications (hello tote bag base!!) and to build a bag that’ll last forever.
Available in Black, Olive Green, Neon Yellow
