Introducing all-new Dyneema® Woven Composite fabrics

We’ve partnered with Dyneema® to become the first to integrate their groundbreaking Dyneema® Woven Composite into our core pack line—delivering lighter weight, greater strength, and proven performance in the world’s toughest terrain.

Doubling Down on Durability

Dyneema® has pushed fabric engineering by doubling the Dyneema® in its latest composite material. The new Dyneema® Woven Composites utilize signature Dyneema® fiber on both the internal and external layers, creating an advanced composite with unmatched performance.

Quantified Advantage

Engineered for the most demanding conditions, Dyneema® Woven Composite delivers up to 10x more abrasion resistance, 5x better tear resistance, and up to 34% weight savings compared to the existing Dyneema® high-performance fabric composite portfolio.

Strength in Practice

“With the new Southwest pack… I don’t need to hesitate. That extra confidence allows me to move into more and more aggressive and adventurous mindsets, spaces, and aspirations.”
