All GOT BAGs are made of a fabric made from extremely robust 600D recycled polyester yarn made from 100% Ocean Impact Plastic. All fabrics have a waterproof PU or TPU coating on the inside and are additionally water- and dirt-repellent on the outside with a PU coating or DWR (durable water repellency) impregnation. All materials used are PVC and PFC-free. We process our fabric into products using two different techniques:
All ROLLTOPS and WEEKENDERs are made to measure from a TPU and PU-coated material with high-frequency welding. This welding process creates seams that are waterproof and have the same tear strength as the fabric. The entire product is super robust and all seams are waterproof. The water column of the fabric is over 20,000 mm. The contents are thus protected from rain and other weather influences - provided the opening is rolled up tightly and closed.
All other products such as DAYPACKs and HIP BAGs are sewn with special sewing machines. The material is PU-coated on the back and has a DWR (durable water repellency) on the front. The water column is at least 1,500 mm. Thanks to a DWR treatment, our products in this line are permanently water-repellent. Rain is kept out by the PU coating, but would get inside through the seams in heavy weather. However, light rain, short showers or splashing water usually have no effect on the inside of the products.
