LiteAF Packs in Ultra 200 - Worth a Try?
Hey all, just zeroing in on a new pack for myself. In doing so, I found out there's a new material LiteAF and a few other pack makers are using in place of Dyneema.
It's called Ultra 200 or 200 Ultra, depending on where you're reading, and it's apparently stronger and more abrasion resistant than Dyneema while also being around the same weight. At least according to the manufactuer (specs found here) and Pa'lante (info page here).
This is great and all, but it doesn't carry the "tried and true" weight that Dyneema does. Aside from color choices, since LiteAF only offers Ultra 200 in black, is there any reason to not go with the Ultra 200 version of their packs?
There are a handful of discussions on the material on the internet as well, but not much information or any testimonies as far as their quality:
