Hi All,
There are some new XPac colors available, y’all are the first to know. The Hot Orange and Hot Lime are great hi-vis colors. The Frost Teal Grey is a really sharp. We have a few hundred yards of each available here at the warehouse. I’d expect Quest Outfitters and Rockywoods will have them in stock soon!
VX21 RS Frost Teal Grey
VX25 Hot Orange
VX25 Hot Lime
X50 Tropic Multicam
Cheers,
Taylor
Dec 6, 2017 at 3:26 pm #3505851Thanks, Taylor. Any input on my previous request for a green X21rc? Or any other colors in X21rc for that matter?
Dec 6, 2017 at 5:04 pm #3505877Hi @jturner140,
We haven’t have much in the way of more input for a green color. Although if we have enough interest to justify a custom color we’ll go for it! No other RC colors planned at the moment but we’ll see what comes down the pike.

What is your site where these can be ordered?
Dec 8, 2017 at 3:14 pm #3506213You can’t buy direct from DP outside of a 50 yard minimum. You can find their fabric at RockyWoods and quest outfitters.
Dec 8, 2017 at 3:27 pm #3506215Yes, that is correct @nathanmeyerson @miku Rockywoods and Quest are our North American distributors and can sell short yardages.
Dec 8, 2017 at 3:29 pm #3506216Is all XPac that does not ha scrim a RC fabric? specifically, are XPac X50 and X51 able to be seam taped?
Dec 8, 2017 at 3:39 pm #3506217What is this ‘RC’ you speak of?
Dec 8, 2017 at 3:49 pm #3506219Hi @fedster9,
There are a few XPac styles that have a film backing, rather than a polyester taffeta which improves seam taping. These are: X21 RC, WX20, X42, X50, X51
Cheers,
Taylor
Dec 8, 2017 at 4:04 pm #3506220Hi @Greg23,
X21 RC from the Recreational Series of XPac Products. It is very similiar to VX21 where it has the same nylon face fabric but has a film back rather than the taffeta. The result is a lighter fabric with a softer hand however the X21 RC will not be as rugged as standard VX21.
Cheers,
Taylor
Dec 23, 2017 at 4:48 pm #3508956Anything in the pipe for a Cordura face fabric (a la X33 multicam) in a solid color?
Jan 2, 2018 at 4:13 pm #3510466@spelt Happy New year! Nothing in the works at the moment. A slightly heavier fabric, X42 is available in Olive. If you jump up to X51 it is available in Deep Black and Graphite.
Cheers,
Taylor
