I have a Deuter pack made with 210 ripstop where the mesh pocket would go on a lightweight pack. I wear the pack on short rest breaks, and lean back on rocks. As a result, the 210 ripstop gets pretty scuffed up, with some scuffs going about 1/2 way through the fabric, and some resulting in small (1/8") holes.

Will 210 Dyneema ripstop like the GoLite Jam, MLD, or SMD packs are made of be any more abrasion resistant ? Do the bottoms of those packs get a lot of tiny holes pretty quickly ?

How does the abrasion resistance of the 100 Cordora that the Granite Gear packs are made of compare to the 210 Dyneema ripstop the GoLite/MLD/SMD packs use ?

How does the 210 Cordora that the Granite Gear Vapor Flash uses compare to the 420 Packcloth many climbing packs use for the main bag ?

Thanks.

Any fabric below 500d Cordura Rock will always win. Even 500d Cordura does not last long sitting on granite rocks of the sierras or anyplace else.
Camp Pendleton has few army surplus stores in Oceanside,.Ca. you should see the 1000d ballistic cordura packs that come back from Iraq or Afghanistan it is so thrashed with holes ripped in the fabric even the molle webbing straps has holes in it.

ROCK will always win in the end game.
