Our Favorite Dyneema Bags Right Now

Our Favorite Dyneema Bags Right Now

by , June 12, 2020

Dyneema (formerly known as Cuben Fiber) is lauded as the world’s strongest fiber. A material known for its crunched-paper-like aesthetic, incredible strength-to-weight ratio and weatherproofness. And when it’s implemented well in a bag, the results are undeniable.

So we’ve gone through and selected our favorite Dyneema bags right now…


UNJOE Gear Snap Sacoche (around US$82)

UNJOE Gear Snap Sacoche

When venturing in the outdoors you want easy access to small essentials, with a reduced risk of losing them while you’re exploring. So UNJOE Gear designed the Snap Sacoche to meet this goal. The bag offers five pockets to securely store a variety of items while keeping them accessible on the go. Of course, there’s no reason it can’t accompany you on urban adventures too. The bag is handcrafted in Japan with an attractive blend of materials including X-Pac VX07 and 2.92 oz hybrid Dyneema® Composite Fabric. But take note, these sell out super fast, so make sure to stalk UNJOE’s instagram for updates!

Additionally, even more personal customizations are possible such as different fabric weights and colors, Velcro patches and more if you have particular ideas in mind. The bag is constructed with taped seams, water-resistant YKK AquaGuard zippers, and a hybrid Dyneema Composite Fabric. The front and rear external pockets are handy for storing smaller items and the bag can be worn cross-body or around the waist depending on your preferences.

Another appealing piece from their Shift series, there’s no denying the price is premium, but the quality and work-play-travel versatility is too.
