AETHER 30L is waterproof, very lightweight and durable. Made of ultralight yet high-strength Cuben fabric (Dyneema), the Aether is specially designed for extreme climbing such as ice climbing and alpine climbing. Dyneema fabric is 15 times stronger than steel, floats on water and is soft as silk. Compare to Nylon, Dyneema is waterproof, UV resistant, lighter and thinner while stronger. It's thin enough to let daylight or a flashlight from outside glow inside the pack which is very convenient when looking for small items in the dark bottom of most nylon packs.
