I make them all here in my apartment in Brooklyn. I’ve jammed my sewing machine and all my materials and other tools in here with me.

They are all great, just a little different. Currently, it mostly comes down to what color you want. I don’t think you’d really be able to tell the difference unless you had them all together (unless you’re a fabric nerd, but if you are you already know which fabric you want).

Since I have so little space to store materials, I have to be picky about what I have on hand. I currently stock a 1.9oz PU coated nylon. I chose it for its weight to strength ratio, and, just like the XPAC for the exteriors, it is water proof.

The materials that I use to make the bags are all 100% waterproof. However, when you so things together, you punch a bunch of holes in them. So, no unfortunately the bags I make are not waterproof, but I find them to be adequately water resistant.

Bolt on bags are a little tricky, and at the moment I only feel comfortable offering them in-person so I can ensure the fit is perfect.
