What is Ballistic Nylon?
What we know today as Ballistic Nylon is a multifilament high tenacity, 2X2 basket weave nylon fabric, usually made with 1050D or 840D yarns. The name Ballistic goes back to the Vietnam war era when it was used for anti-fragmentation ballistic jackets for the military. Multiple layers of the thick fabric were laminated together to help stop exploding shrapnel and fragmentation. By the late ’70s the military upgraded their armor to lightweight Kevlar® and ceramic plate technology that could stop actual bullets. Then in the ’80s Ballistic Nylon had found its way into the consumer market. At a time when heavy-duty, strong luggage was the flavour of the day, the term ballistic struck a chord with customers and the name stuck. The slick finish, heavy weave and excellent strength still make it a popular choice today, although as a single layer fabric it’s lost most of its actual ballistic credentials.

United StatesPerfect extended stay bag...
Recently my wife has had several health issues which meant many long nights in hospitals. When we had time to plan, the first thing I grabbed was my Overnighter, which was perfect for all our needs and creature comforts (it's great for toiletries, some clothes, books, a gameboy, an ipad, and so on). As far as duffles go, sure it's a "simple" bag but that's it's strength. I didn't have to worry about anything - just fill it up and throw it in the back of the car. I know this is weird review, but it just made me really thankful to have a bag that's so ideal for a stays like this. My backpack was too cumbersome and my other travel bags were too big. There's just something great about a durable duffle that's just big enough to have room for extended stays, but not too big that it's hard to travel with. Plus it helps that Defy's bags are always expertly crafted.
