Not all of those will we make a pack out of, but many we can or can incorporate in, but using "some" of those results in more of our custom shop and a price quote.
We do use regularly the following:
VX21 our most popular. 3900 Weight with side zip is 15 ounces. Stone Gray X33 , this replaces our VX33. It is a bit lighter than the VX33 was but retains the same 330D Cordura face on the interior, but looses a little abrasion resistance on the interior. As far as XPAC goes, The VX series has a significant interior layer. The weight is within an ounce of VX21, it does cost a bit more, about $30 - $40 on a pack bag. 210D Tan Double Ripstop. This is a lightweight but strong fabric. It;s not stiff, like XPAC, and I have grown to like the stiffness of XPAC. 10 ounces on 3900 VX07 - Same as VX07 but lighter. Weight is about 12 ounces for a pack bag. This would be custom shop and have some surcharges depending on color availability etc.
What would be custom: Cordura - Standard 500D Cordura. not waterproof, but water resistant, pack cover recommended in wet environments. We have black in stock, a custom color would require some surcharge. Weight probably 18 ounces on a 3900
VX42- XPAC This is a heavy duty XPAC. It is more abrasion resistant than Cordura based on various lab tests due to it's smooth finish. Color Black only, weight approx 20 ounces on a 3900 There would be some surcharge
Cuben Fiber - 2,9 ounce Cuben, this will weigh around 10 ounces in a 3900. It has a stiff feel like XPAC. Waterproof fabric, but still requires seam sealing. There is a surcharge depending on project. Most projects about $50.00 . We shipped one yesterday.
Those are the ones I would be inclined to look at.
For me , I think the VX21 is a really nice fabric. If I felt I was really rough on gear, I would go VX42 or X33, and if I was more worried about weight I would go the VX07, 210D Tan, or Cuben. What I run now ? The 210D Tan, and I'll probably use it a better part of a season, or maybe run a Cuben one for awhile as well, or I might even use a VX07 one as well. The Tan is not my favorite, because I have come to like the stiffness of XPAC, but the tan is fine and saves 5 ounces. What I used extensively last year, the VX21, I loved it, but I like to save 5 ounces if I can.
