A super-light fabric developed by Gregory for its new generation of ultra-light backpacks. It uses high-tensile 30D ripstop nylon fabric, which is then soaked in a siliconizing solution to allow the siliconizing agent to penetrate the fabric, filling the spaces between fibers. This not only locks the yarns together to enhance tear resistance but also hardens the fabric to increase its strength. The resulting material is significantly tougher than other fabrics of the same grade, offers superior water resistance, and is more durable.
