Inspired by 35 years of creating and testing advanced sailcloth fabrics, ECOPAK was developed by Challenge Outdoor as a recycled and more durable alternative to traditional laminated nylon. Eco-friendly, waterproof, and an impressive strength-to-weight ratio.

Eco-friendly, durable, & stunning

EPX400 is built from 100% recycled components, 400 denier face textile laminated to a waterproof 70d ripstop backing and an added C0 DWR (aka fluorocarbon-free) finish. In short: abrasion, water, and UV resistance in a smooth, matte ECOPAK variation.

Plastic bottles to bags and pouches

ECOPAK is the world’s only durable and waterproof fabric made from 100% recycled polyester fiber and film. Each yard upcycles about 20 plastic water bottles into strong technical textiles.

Recycled in & out

The ECOPAK collection's lining is RBC400, or Recycled Bag Cloth in 400 denier weight. RBC400 is made from 100% recycled polyester with a PU coating that's C0 DWR (aka fluorocarbon-free) on the back side for water resistance. This is the same woven material that is on the face of the ECOPAK composite used in the shell.
