re: canvas vs cordura.
Nylon based fabrics come in a heap of different weaves and thicknesses. Canvas really only seems to come in one. I have no doubt that there are flimsy nylon packs out there that wouldn't stand up as well as a canvas one. Equally, if you made the whole pack out of the thick cordura that protects the bottom of the pack it would weigh a ton.
If you're using a pack for cragging and want it to last, think about where your gear is. If you put your rack at the bottom of the pack (like most of us do), then everytime you plonk your pack down on a boulder or it slips off the lunch rock you will have thin material being pinched and abraded between metal and rock. Gettuing some thin EVA sleeping mat foam and lining the bottom of the pack with it will give you heaps more protection and something to sit on when all your gear's out of the pack. |
