Yes it is 420D diamond ripstop. It was very easy to work with. Not as stiff as the VX21, feels thicker and heavier than VX21 mainly due to the rubbery backing. I have a Revelate Designs bag to compare to.
I just used some off the shelf bias tape from a local fabric store...until I can find some blue nylon webbing in the correct size.
