Terra Nova has has given their new backpack the namesake of the fabric it is created from, the Ultra 20. The "Ultra" refers to the fabric and the "20" refers to the packs volume (20L). The pack itself is delightfully simple, employing the Ultra fabric for most all of the construction. Pack users will also find a light mesh employed for the two side water bottle pockets and the undersides of the shoulder straps, narrow webbing used in the hipbelt and lower shoulder straps, as well as a very thin yet rigid cord applied for a collar cinch as well as to cinch the minimal top-lid and side compression. The bottom of the pack is constructed of a typical ripstop-nylon which has a higher abrasion resistance than the Ultra fabric when placing the pack on the ground.
