Can anyone tell what the material is in this picture.  It is the material that is sewn into the side of the bag that the velcro is stitched too.

I am after the material that the strap is made from.  That does not look like xpac.

Looks like vinyl coated polyester with the dull side out.

Nope, but the body of the bag sure does though Wink

Pretty sure that's hypalon fabric, which is now known as CSM. It is a rubberized polyester.

If anyone is interested, this article shows some bags made with hypalon.  I had never heard of it before mjvk mentioned it.

Not bike bag related, but came up in a google search and has some good images of the stuff.
