WHAT FABRIC SHOULD I CHOOSE?
Not sure which fabric to choose from the available options? Here's a quick guide on the differences.
If weight of the bag is your biggest concern, then Ultra TX70 and UltraGrid will be your best option. If a bag with more structure and "body" is what you're wanting, then X-Pac RX15 and RX30 would be a better choice.
Challenge Outdoor UltraGrid, UltraWeave & Ultra TX70:
A solid, lightweight and super strong fabric. UltraGrid is a 100% recycled nylon that's 210D and features a double Ultra fiber ripstop that makes it incredibly strong, and nearly impossible to rip. At 146 gsm, it's a touch heavier than Ultra TX, but offers more color options. UltraGrid is a single layer, woven fabric. It's a Backcountry Exposure favorite.
The ultralight hiker go to. Ultra TX70 is a 3 layer laminate with a 70D polyester ripstop face fabric, crossply ultra fiber and PET film that can be seam taped. It's lighter weight at 99 gsm and is ideal for when grams count.
For maximum durability the UltraWeave 400X fabric is excellent. UltraWeave is also laminated and features the strong Ultra fiber that's highly abrasion resistant while also being lightweight.
X-Pac RX Fabrics:
X-Pac RX15 is a 3 layer laminate fabric that's 100% recycled polyester with a 150 denier face fabric. It has a nice, soft hand feel on the face fabric. It's a touch heavier at 196gsm but is incredibly durable, has great structure and very durable for the weight.
X-Pac RX30 has the same 3 layer construction as RX15 but features a 300 denier face fabric and more color options. For maximum durability and structure on the bag, go with RX30.
Other Fabrics:
X-Pac VX07 features a 70 denier face fabric that's laminated to a 70 denier taffeta liner. It's lightweight, strong and built to last.
Challenge 450RS is a 450 denier, single layer ripstop recycled polyester bag cloth. It's PU coated inside and has a C0 DWR on the outside. A bit heavier weight, but strong and durable.
ARE THE BAGS WATERPROOF?
ARE THE BAGS WATERPROOF?
Backcountry Exposure bags are highly water resistant. All of the fabric used on our bags are waterproof through environmentally friendly PU and DWR coatings, or lamination.
Seams of our bags are not waterproof and are not seam sealed/taped. Why? Seam sealing adds significant time and cost to production and in many cases sealing isn't necessary for the function of the bag. Our bags will resist water from a light rain and keep contents dry. Any gear items of concern in getting wet should be placed into a dry bag that's designed to be 100% waterproof.
Bags can be seam sealed or taped by you should you decide to do that yourself.
*Note warranty information in making modifications to products.*

In Stock Bag Specifics:
- Little Ditty in Blue X-Pac VX07 (A lighter weight X-Pac ripstop fabric w/ watertight zipper)
A favorite style of bag for the built in gusset that expands the bottom of the bag for greater volume that also allows the bag to stand upright. The Little Ditty is a great option for carrying electronics like your headlamp, battery bank, cables, and more. But it's also good for any other small gear items that might have a little more bulk to them that would be too tight in a standard envelope style zipper pouch. With a water tight #3 zipper, you get some added protection from water getting into the bag.
FEATURES & SPECS:
- Weight: 11-16 grams (Fabric Dependant)
- Dimensions: 7.25" x 5" x 1.5" (Gusset expands to 1.5" wide at bottom)
- #3 Watertight zipper w/ pull tabs (Unless otherwise noted in information above)
