Material

With the MINI Custom Edition, you can choose the fabric and color for different areas of the backpack. Fabric options include our proprietary Pertex®︎07RS-PC and Pertex®21RS-PC developed in collaboration with Pertex, the lightweight yet exceptionally strong Technoforce® Steel, X-Pac VX07, and UX10—the lightest X-Pac currently available.

Pertex®︎07RS-PC

Available for: Roll-top/Body, Front pocket

A proprietary 70-denier fabric, developed in collaboration between Yamatomichi and Pertex. Designed with an optimal weave and a supple structure that disperses impact, this fabric delivers the lightweight performance essential for backpacks while offering strength that surpasses standard nylon. A special polycarbonate coating adds extra durability by resisting moisture-related wear over time.

X-Pac UX10

Available for: Front pocket

At 85g/㎡, this is the lightest fabric in the X-Pac lineup. It features a multi-layer construction: a 100-denier ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHPE) with a cire finish (high-density treatment) for added firmness, reinforced with a aramid cross-ply, and backed with a polyester film. This combination offers exceptional strength and waterproof performance while remaining lightweight.

When new, the fabric feels notably stiff, but with use, it quickly softens into a supple texture while retaining a crisp structure.

X-Pac VX07

Available for: Front pocket

X-Pac VX07 is a multi-layer fabric comprised of 70 denier nylon on the surface, a water-resistant polyester film in the middle, and a 50 denier polyester taffeta and diamond-patterned black polyester X-Ply material at the back. It is highly durable and water-resistant with hydrostatic water-resistant structural technology.

Technoforce® Steel

Available for: Front pocket, Bottom

This fabric is made entirely from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHPE), known for its outstanding strength and incredibly light weight—so light it floats on water. Despite being lightweight, UHPE fibers are exceptionally strong; in theory, a single 10mm strand can hold up to 20 tons. The fabric is densely woven to achieve top-tier tear resistance, tensile strength, and abrasion resistance for its weight. On the back, a durable polycarbonate coating adds long-lasting protection, resisting the kind of breakdown that can happen over time with moisture exposure. In demanding durability tests, including the “jungle test” that simulates harsh environments, the fabric showed virtually no signs of wear even after 10 years. And because UHPE doesn’t absorb water, the fabric stays light and never becomes heavy, even in wet conditions.

Backpack Material Comparison

In the diagram below, higher blue values indicate heavier fabric, while higher black values indicate greater strength.

Tear strength values are the average of vertical and horizontal directions.
Ultra 200, X-Pac VX07, and VX21 use manufacturer data (ASTM D2261); all other values are from our in-house tests (JIS L1096A).

How to order

Select material and color

The MINI Custom Edition is a semi-custom backpack that lets you freely choose the fabric and color for the body/roll-top, front pocket, bottom, and zipper from the options below.

1. Select body/roll top material

*The edge of the roll-top uses the black 30D HT silnylon to improve the smoothness of the drawstring.

4. Select zipper color

The zipper type is chosen to match the fabric’s characteristics. If you select lower-waterproof fabrics like Technoforce® Steel or Pertex® 21RS-PC / 07RS-PC for the front pocket, a lightweight and durable coil zipper is used. For highly waterproof fabrics like X-Pac, a water-resistant zipper is paired to maintain performance. You can choose from 14 color options for the zipper, whichever type applies.

5. Select Back Pad

Please select from two types of back pads below. Both are removable, but function differently.

Minimalist Pad (43g) 

It is installed as a standard back pad for our regular MINI. It can be used as a sleeping pad or an emergency pad to keep you warm. It is slightly smallerin width (H45cm x W90cm) than the commercial version Minimalist Pad.

Breathable Pad for MINI (130g)

Made from a material called C-CORE; a three-dimensional network structure in which polyethylene fibers are intricately entwined. C-CORE is also used as a material for high-quality mattresses. While it is 87g heavier than the default Minimalist Pad with only 43g, it is far more breathable and well-cushioned, keeping your back cooler.

As a rough guide, we recommend the L size for people over 175cm, but there are people 170cm tall and the L is perfect for them. We recommend trying before buying.

  • The length of the shoulder strap is the straight line from the base of the strap to the end of the core material.
  • Please refer to the ONE product page for more information on how we measure the length of the back of our backpacks.

Notes before use

Fabric water resistance

While the fabric used is highly water-resistant, the backpack is not waterproof. We recommend using a waterproof pack liner or a rain cover.

DEET

Insect repellents containing DEET can degrade the coating of the fabric components, so please do not let them come into contact with this product.
