It’s called Nefarious for good reason: It's so thin and feather-light, even phone thieves with nefarious intentions most likely won’t see it. It’s Made in the USA from MIL-SPEC materials, lighter than a whisper and tougher than a secret agent's briefcase. And if you’ve ever struggled with bag buckles, the imported lateral sliding German FIDLOCK™ buckle will be a revelation—so easy to use with one hand, you might end up using it just to impress your friends. When you’re not out saving the day, you can hang your Nefarious on any metal surface by its marvel of the carry world, magnetic FIDLOCK™.
It’s perfect for travel, festivals, hiking, or urban adventures—basically, any situation where lightness and simplicity are paramount. The solid steel, matte black tri-glide lets you adjust it so you can wear it on your hip, back, waist, or crossbody. Because nothing says “I’ve got it all figured out” like wearing a bag in four different ways while no one notices you’re even wearing one.
You're probably wondering why in the hell anyone needs an imported 1" FIDLOCK™ Tactical Quick Release buckle made of PA66-GF that is able to sustain a capacity of 25kg? We get it. Totally do. Honestly, we know it's a bit overkill. But the truth is, FIDLOCK™ are some of the raddest and easiest to use buckles we've ever found and that’s what DEFY does. We put as much into our products so they give you the most when you’re carrying them. Period. But be forewarned: You just might become obsessed and play with them all the time. Embrace the Nefarious, because if you’re going to be subtly brilliant, you might as well have a name that sounds like you’re up to something delightfully wicked.
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.
