IMPOSSIBLY LIGHT. NOT FLIMSY.

01 / AEROLOGY™

IMPOSSIBLY LIGHT. NOT FLIMSY.

The nylon that lets a 26-litre laptop pack weigh 620 grams.

  • Coated nylon
  • Water-resistant
  • Abrasion-tested

What it is

ONE FABRIC.
EVERY PACK.

Aerology™ is our proprietary lightweight nylon: a tight, high-tenacity weave with a water-resistant coating on the outside and a durable polyester lining inside. We use it on the exterior of every Fieldwrks pack, and nowhere else.

WEIGHT FIRST

Fabric

WEIGHT FIRST

Most bag fabrics are chosen for how they look and then made to survive. Aerology™ was chosen for how little it weighs and then coated, tested and re-tested until it survived rain, abrasion and being stuffed under an airline seat.

  • High-tenacity nylon
  • Water-resistant coating
  • Polyester lining

Testing

HOW WE TEST

Three things a city does to a bag, done to every sample before it ships.

  1. 01

    Rain

    Spray-tested so a monsoon commute stays a commute. Water-resistant, not a dry bag: zips and seams are not sealed.

  2. 02

    Abrasion

    Rubbed against concrete, cab boots and metro floors. The coating scuffs before it tears.

  3. 03

    Load

    Straps, handles and the laptop sleeve carry a full pack plus a 15.6" laptop without stretching the pattern.

Care

WIPE, DON'T WASH.

Aerology™ cleans with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air-dry away from direct sun. No machine wash, no dry cleaning, no ironing. Store empty with the straps loosened.
