NEFARIOUS Olive Drab Wax Canvas x Coyote XPAC

Its called Nefarious for a reason: It’s so thin and feather-light, even the most practiced pickpocket wont know youre packing. Nefarious is hand-cut and sewn in Chicago from MIL-SPEC Olive Drab Wax Canvas with a weather-proof Coyote XPAC interior. Its lighter than a whisper and tougher than a secret agents alibi.

The imported German FIDLOCK magnetic buckle is pure overkill and pure joy. Slide it laterally with one hand and it snaps shut like its reading your mind. Hang it on a metal surface when youre off duty or just show it off to friends who still wrestle with clunky buckles. We wont judge.

Wear it for travel, festivals, urban missions, or a quick covert run for espresso, this pack moves with you. The solid steel matte black tri-glide adjusts so you can wear it crossbody, hip, back, or waist. Four ways to carry, zero ways to slow you down.

And yes, that 1″ FIDLOCK Tactical Quick Release buckle is rated to hold 25 kg. Is that excessive for a hip pack? Absolutely. But DEFY never apologizes for obsession. We put everything into our gear so it gives everything back.

Embrace the Nefarious. Because if youre going to be subtly brilliant, you might as well carry a name that sounds delightfully wicked.

WHAT IS X-PAC?

Not to be mistaken with the WWF wrestler, X-Pac is a composite fabric comprised of multiple layers laminated into a single sheet. The layers in the standard pack cloth consist of a nylon face fabric, a polyester X-Ply mesh, a waterproof film and light taffeta backing with a water-resistant coating. Developed and distributed by the sailcloth makers Dimension-Polyant, the company discovered that much of the technology they had developed for making specialized racing sails was also capable of producing a unique bag material. A good sail needs to be as light as possible, whilst strong enough to withstand the forces running through it. To retain its intended shape the fabric needs to be stable across all dimensions. It also needs to survive the elements by not absorbing water and being resistant to UV. With these properties, and with the fabric being relatively accessible, its no surprise that cottage industry bag makers jumped on board. In particular, the waterproofness and structure of the fabric was far greater than other lightweight materials used at the time, such as silnylon. The waterproof film provides waterproofness up to 200 PSI, which means packs are pretty much rainproof and dont gain weight whilst hiking in the rain.
