I’m about to cut the fabric for an ultralight pack for fast and light trail use. I use a synthetic quilt so I need a little bit more volume. I’m thinking I’ll mimic the dimensions of a MLD exodus. The features will be pretty barebones with only three side compression straps of cord and linelocs (per side), a front pocket, and a roll top.
My main question is: Should I go all silnylon? Or should I make the bottom and back out of a 210d xpac?
I’ve been leaning towards a double layer silnylon bottom but I’ve never used sil as a pack material so I’d like to tap the community to see if this would be durable enough for strictly on trail hiking.
