Dimension Polyant
Dimension-Polyant, known for producing durable sailcloth and the innovative X-Pac waterproof laminates used in packs and bags, is set to showcase its latest sustainable fabric at Performance Days Munich (October 23-24). The company’s newest product, X-Pac VX21 Ocean Edition (OE), is a fully sustainable version of its popular X-Pac VX21 laminate.
This new four-layer laminate is made with GRS-certified 100% recycled regen Ocean nylon, sourced from discarded fishing nets, and features X-PLY fiber reinforcement technology made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET.
The X-Pac VX21 OE also includes a recycled PET taffeta backing, enhancing stitch holding, and is produced in Dimension-Polyant’s carbon-neutral facility. The product is available in multiple colors, including black, white, artic grey, and sea green.
Peak Design, a leader in sustainable bag design, has partnered with Dimension-Polyant to use the X-Pac VX21 OE in an exclusive Coyote Brown colorway for its Everyday Backpack. This collaboration supports Peak Design’s goal of reducing environmental impact while maintaining the highest product quality.
