·Cordura — Machine wash cold, air dry. Extremely easy to maintain.

Cost Per Use

·Nylon — Quality nylon bags and gear can last decades with daily use.
·Cordura — Cordura bags and packs routinely last 15-20 years of daily use. The higher initial cost is easily justified.
·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Recreation). At ~6 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 1.4 years — and falls to roughly 28¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
