Some backpacks are designed to disappear. This one was built to be remembered.

The Bucktown Fire Edition combines blazing Fire Orange X-Pac® with a surprise waiting inside: Rogue Camo. Loud where it should be. Unexpected where it counts.

Fire Orange X-Pac® isn't just about making a statement. Originally developed as high-performance sailcloth, it's lightweight, exceptionally durable, highly water resistant, and built to shrug off years of hard use. It's the sort of material that laughs at bad weather and somehow still looks ready for more.

Then you unzip it.

Instead of another predictable black interior, you're greeted by our Rogue Camo lining. Rugged, functional, and just rebellious enough to remind you this isn't another backpack pulled off a warehouse shelf.

Like every Bucktown, this one is designed to work as hard as you do. Thick closed-cell foam protects your laptop from every angle. Oversized YKK AquaGuard® zippers help keep the elements where they belong. Exterior bottle pockets, industrial-strength hardware, and intelligently organized storage make it equally at home commuting through Chicago, boarding a flight, or disappearing for the weekend.

One of the most important things about every DEFY bag is something you'll probably never notice. Between the Fire Orange X-Pac exterior and the Rogue Camo lining, we strategically reinforce critical stress points with additional layers of X-Pac to strengthen the areas that take the most abuse. It's one of those details most companies skip—and one of the reasons DEFY bags have earned a reputation for refusing to quit.

Every Bucktown is hand-cut and sewn in Chicago by our small team using premium materials, industrial machines, and decades of experience. We don't build disposable products. We build future hand-me-downs.

PROUDLY HAND-CRAFTED IN CHICAGO

WHAT IS X-PAC?

Not to be mistaken with the WWF wrestler, X-Pac is a composite fabric comprised of multiple layers laminated into a single sheet. The layers in the standard pack cloth consist of a nylon face fabric, a polyester “X-Ply” mesh, a waterproof film and light taffeta backing with a water-resistant coating. Developed and distributed by the sailcloth makers Dimension-Polyant, the company discovered that much of the technology they had developed for making specialized racing sails was also capable of producing a unique bag material. A good sail needs to be as light as possible, whilst strong enough to withstand the forces running through it. To retain its intended shape the fabric needs to be stable across all dimensions. It also needs to survive the elements by not absorbing water and being resistant to UV. With these properties, and with the fabric being relatively accessible, it’s no surprise that cottage industry bag makers jumped on board. In particular, the waterproofness and structure of the fabric was far greater than other lightweight materials used at the time, such as silnylon. The waterproof film provides waterproofness up to 200 PSI, which means packs are pretty much rainproof and don’t gain weight whilst hiking in the rain.
