[leadin]Crazy tough and very expensive, Dyneema is a super-fabric capable of withstanding incredible abuse — the perfect material for a duffel bag?[/leadin]
Before I start this review, there are two things you should know about me. 1) That I am typically very careful not to abuse my gear, and 2) that I am an ambassador with Hyperlite Mountain Gear (HMG).
So when the crew from HMG asked if I would test their new woven Dyneema duffel, I paused, then shared I’d have to go for broke and break a few of my own rules…in short, beat the holy tar out of the duffel.
HMG enthusiastically responded “Sure!” then followed with “…well…just don’t light it on fire”.
These are some limitations a man can work with.
