Fabrics shown below are fabrics used in the construction of McHale Packs. For DIY we have some fabrics we can sell. The prices on some are marked below.

     

Challenge Fabrics, Challenge Ultra Fabrics - Click links. These are becoming well known and are replacing our use of Full Spectra due to cost. The 200X weight has been the most popular for us because it takes our dyes well and falls into the right weight class of 4.4 oz. per yard. The 400X; I wish it was as light as claimed (Challenge has not updated their website with the new fabric weights since beefing up their linings), but for people that need a really burly pack, it's the way to go. Below; Challenge 100X gray with a dyed white to yellow Challenge 200X rear pocket and dyed white to yellow 400X bottom in a Merke 36.

100 Challenge. This is an older version of 100 we can sell. We still use it to line pack bottoms and etc. This is a nice gray color we have for sale at $20.00/yard. This is the older style without X-Ply and with a lighter PET laminate. 2 yard minimum. 3 oz weight / yd

200X Challenge. This is also a very nice strong light fabric - so much stronger than X-Grid. It's a hair lighter than X-Grid at 4.4 oz/yard with 5 times the amount of Dyneema. It's a 67% dyneema and 33% polyester blend. Grid fabrics typically are 10 to 13% Dyneema or Spectra or generic UHMWPE.

800 Challenge. This is great for uber durable pack bottoms or rear pockets. Black or white. We use black for most packs.
