How to Distinguish Tactical Packs

The price of outdoor tactical backpacks in the market varies greatly. The cheap one costs tens of dollars, and the more expensive ones cost thousands of dollars. Why is there such a big difference? How to choose?

As a member of the backpack family, the outdoor tactical backpack is very different from other types of bags. Its main consideration is to be used in special environments such as outdoors, so the demand is light, quick-drying, and high-strength, and durable.

The fabric commonly used in outdoor tactical backpacks is Cordura. The special structure of Cordura fabric gives it excellent wear resistance, tear resistance, unparalleled strength, good feel, light weight, softness, stable color and easy care.

The fabrics of outdoor tactical backpacks are generally divided into ××D and ××D, and the common ones are 330D, 500D, 900D, 1000D, and 1050D. Many people think that the “D” in the backpack material stands for density, or weight. None of this is right. D is an abbreviation for denier. And Denier is the unit of measurement of fiber. The calculation method is: 1 gram per 9000 meters long line is called Denier. Therefore, the smaller the number in front of D, the thinner the line and the smaller the density. For example, 500D material has very fine lines, and is generally used as the lining or compartment of the bag. The 1000D or 1050D material has thick lines, thick threads, and is very wear-resistant. It is generally used as a fabric for bags. To sum up, the larger the value in front of D, the better the material and the higher the price.

Why are thousands of backpacks not as good as dozens of backpacks? This is largely a matter of fabrics. The characteristics of low-priced fabrics are that they are thin and flexible, so they are easy to process and sew. On the contrary, the expensive ones have relatively thick fabrics and are relatively hard, so they are more difficult to process. The other one is determined by the demand. The workmanship of this kind of backpack is not the most important thing, but the durability is the pursuit.

The quality determines the service life of a tactical backpack, and a well-designed tactical backpack can be used for at least 4-5 years.
