Materials and functions

The 1L stem bag is made with durable fabrics on the outer, a light-coloured nylon ripstop liner and a thin, closed-cell foam padding in between.  

It is available with two pocket options :

  • two symmetrical pockets, one on each side
  • an unilateral elasticated, pleated pocket

 

The outside pockets add extra storage for a phone, more snacks and other small items. 

  • Materials 

The 1L stem bag can be made from a selection of deadstock or recycled fabrics. Any of the fabrics listed below can be used for the three panels that compose the bag : the front and back pannel, the side pannels (x2) and the side pockets.

— Sunbrella Marine Acrylic Canvas

 320.0 g/sqm

Sunbrella Marine fabric is an impregnated waterproof acrylic woven fabric that is initially made for boat protection. It’s UV, salt and mould resistant so will hold its colour and strength even after being exposed to the elements for a long time. 

This acrylic canvas has a soft and matte appearance, close to cotton, which gives it a timeless look, while still being durable and more abrasion resistant than cotton. 

— X-Pac 

X-Pac® is a performance laminate fabric. The fabric uses a proprietary multi-layer lamination technology that makes it highly durable and strong, 100% waterproof, and very stable with low bias stretch. 

— Challenge Sailcloth Ecopak 

(288.0 g/sqm)

This fabric laminates a 100% recycled polyester outer fabric together with a UV-stable, highly waterproof ripstop recycled polyester. The strong, blue CrossPly polyester fibres that lye in a diamond shape between the layers increase the tear resistance and prevent the material from stretching in all directions. This fabric has a slightly shiny surface which gives it a technical appearance.
