Standard features found on ALL BWJ Performance Packs:

• 1000 Denier coated Cordura nylon. This fabric is resistant to grease, oil and ultraviolet rays. It is lighter weight and won't absorb water like canvas. It dries fast, is extremely puncture resistant and stands up to the endless abrasion of canoe country rocks. Simply the best material there is for canoe packs.
• All full-size packs have double-thickness Cordura bottoms:
• Extremely comfortable 3 1/2" wide closed-cell foam, padded shoulder straps with heavily reinforced stitching. Shoulder straps on all 6 models are articulated/curved for a non-binding ride and easy on/off. Steel slide hardware quickly adjusts for proper fit.
• 2 or 3 nylon front straps with side-release buckles for easy opening/closing. Low profile of buckles won't hang up on canoe or other packs.
• Nylon lifting loop stitched to shoulder strap yoke helps with loading and unloading at portage landings and serves as a solid hanging loop.
