Yes I agree is not very resistant to abrasion, it took a few seconds rubbing with my front wheel (slick road tyre) to go trough the outer layer of a DIY pack made with VX21 :-(
Good thing of DIY is that you can cover it with an additional webbing or something like that ;-)
And lesson learned: on exposed areas, better to apply a 500D Cordura reinforcement!
