Fabrics & Colour Picker

If you're ordering a custom bag, there are assigned colour panels for which you can specify your own colours from the swatches below. You can mix all of the options (Ecopak, X-pac and Liteskin) together.

Challenge Sailcloth Ecopak Range

Durable, waterproof & environmentally responsible pack fabric made from 100% recycled polyester, with every yard of fabric containing over 20 bottles. Ecopak is DWR (C0) coated for waterproofness. These fabrics are some of the most recent advances in low carbon emission textile manufacturing.

The EPX & EPLX range with multi-ply construction performs excellently for bikepacking bags. The EPX200 is an all-rounder used across the Paper Roads range, where the slightly heavier EPLX400 is more abrasion resistant and the film coating on the reverse side makes it impervious to water.

Dimension-Polyant X-pac & Liteskin

These ultra-light and ultra-tough fabrics are designed for outdoor pack equipment, developed from Dimension-Polyant's long history in producing fabric for the world's finest and most advanced sails.

For waterproofness, the X-pac range is DWR coated and the Liteskin face is non-woven polyester, top coated with DP UvT. Their multi-layer laminate construction provides ample durability and strength on Paper Roads' custom colour panels. *Note that the '15' weight is ideal for the main body panel of framebags. The '07' weight is a lot lighter and suits smaller panels.
