Waterloc® Canvas
Waterloc Canvas was developed for One Planet specifically for use on our backpacks. Waterloc Canvas is woven from yarn that uses a polyester fibre core for strength and a cotton wrap for waterproofing and durability.

Waterloc CanvasWaterloc Canvas has greater strength than equivalent weight polyester and cotton blended canvas. The Grid pattern maintains a smooth surface profile for better abrasion resistance, whilst the fabric is impregnated with a compound that is a blend of hydrophobic and rot inhibiting agents to ensure waterproofing and longevity. All Waterloc Canvas has the underside coloured a light grey so when the pack is constructed the interior of the pack is lighter and brighter making it easier to locate items low in the pack.

6 Ounce Canvas (220 grams)
6 Ounce Canvas is used on the WBA Ultra Bushwalking pack. This fabric is for applications that demand the strength and durability of canvas with absolute minimum weight.

1000 Denier Nylon
Chosen for its high strength and abrasion resistance, this fabric does not match Waterloc Canvas for long term waterproofing. A triple coating makes the One Planet 1000 Denier Nylon supple and strong. Canvas packs use 1000 Denier Nylon as an extra layer of reinforcing over the base.
