The fabric we wanted didn't exist, so we decided to make it.
Venom™ 200 HPU is the only high-performance UHMWPE fabric that looks, feels, and sews like traditional pack cloth.
Instead of iterating on existing materials built by scientists and sailors, we started with a simple question:
How do we make a fabric that's lightweight, super durable, and really waterproof?
Venom 200 HPU is our answer.
By using a traditional PU coating instead of plastic films, this fabric eliminates common issues like delamination and needle perforations.
Combined with a tightly woven blend of 57% UHMWPE and 43% solution dyed polyester, here's what you get:
Extreme Durability - Our 200D Venom™ UHMWPE fiber blend delivers maximum cut, abrasion, and tear/tensile performance while remaining lightweight.
No Dye Chemicals - Solution dyeing at the yarn/fiber level, not the fabric level, results in a significantly lower environmental footprint - reducing chemicals that get released into waterways.
Max Waterproofness - A thick, non-hydrolyzing polyether PU coating that provides water resistance of >5,000 mm HH (*tested to over 10,000 mm).
Lastly, a new "super" C0 DWR repels water and keeps the face dry for longer while still being 100% PFC and PFAS free.
We designed this fabric from the yarn up with a purpose - to give you all the performance benefits of UHMWPE in a material that sews like regular fabric. No special construction techniques or super high price tags.
If that sounds good, you'll love Venom 200 HPU.
Typical Applications: Backpacks, bike bags, duffle bags, wallets, pouches, reinforcement areas, and other high wear applications.
Sold by the Half Yard. For example, enter a quantity of "4" to receive two linear yards of material, measuring two yards (72") in length by the listed width of the material (check specs tab).
IMPORTANT - Due to the unique weaving process of this fabric, you may notice small, minor cosmetic lines very sporadically throughout the material. This is completely functional and normal.

Venom™ 200 HPU
I have used the Venom 200 HPU to make a tech pouch and a **** pack. It is very tough so cutting it out was difficult but the sewing of this flexible, extremely durable fabric was easy and the finished products look fantastic.
Venom 200HPU is the latest and most successful attempt to make useful pack fabric with UHMWPE. Unlike the 100% UHMWPE of Jansport’s Cloud pack of 1999 or the stiff laminate of Challenge Ultra 100X, 3.9 oz Venum 200 HPU is 100% UHMWPE but feels and acts like conventional lightweight pack fabric with the strength of UHMWPE. It has a good hand and is suitable for high abrasion and stress areas or the entire pack body.
