Camelbak is switching their entire line to 500D Cordura from 1000D. This is a great move and will lighten the load with only a negligible compromise in durability. Not only that, but the 500D fabrics look “softer”. Unfortunately, some customers don’t get it and think that moving to 500D means a much lower level of durability. This isn’t the case at all. Equipment doesn’t all need to be manufactured from multiple layers of 1000D Cordura.
