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!!
EPLX600 MULTICAM BLACK is available now 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 and Dark Grey
