Black Composite Drop-Liner with Dyneema®
Sold Out
UPDATE - SOLD OUT
A heavier more robust version of our Blackout backpack from Dyneema®, the Black Composite has a really cool milky character, due to the composite construction of the fabric, and a sturdy hand. Like all of our unique Dyneema® fabrics, we have a limited quantity of this roll available.
Backpack pictured features Bright Blue liner fabrics and Fidlock buckle (add buckle here).
Same function and features as our innovative Drop-Liner design. With a seam-sealed interior liner, you can rest assured your items inside will stay dry.
Please note - this pack does NOT come standard with a Fidlock buckle as pictured here. You must add one to your cart if you prefer the magnet buckle.
Currently only available in Medium.
- Medium: 24 Liter capacity (1464 Cubic Inches)
11.5" wide x 9" deep x 21" tall (29cmx23cmx54cm)
W.N.W. X-ply Drop-Liner with Dyneema®
$ 415.00
This unique woven/nonwoven Dyneema® fabric is a one-off. Featuring a fully woven Dyneema® outer and four directions of composite Dyneema® for extra rigidity and durability, it has a unique "x-ply" ripstop pattern overlaying the composite Dyneema®. That extra scrim was originally designed for high-end sailcloth, where strength and durability are paramount.
This fabric is completely waterproof, lightweight, and extremely durable. Our trademark Drop-Liner design is a perfect fit for this rugged fabric. As with all of our Dyneema® fabric drops, only a limited supply is available.
How many times can we say Dyneema® in one product page?

1953 Army Drop-Liner
$ 380.00
This 1953 Army Tent Fabric came from a giant mess tent. It was rescued from a landfill by a neighbor and brought to the Truce studio for repurposing. The tag says it was manufactured in 1953 in upstate New York, making it the oldest material in our inventory. This is truly an opportunity to own a piece of history.
The fabric itself is heavy-duty cotton, likely treated many times with a weather-resistant wax treatment. It repels water and moisture the old-fashioned way, without chemical treatments or laminations. This fabric has a lot of character and makes for a beautiful bag. Thanks to our drop-liner design, the interior drop-pocket is suitable for traveling in rain and is completely weather-proof.
Currently only available in Medium.
- Medium: 24 Liter capacity (1464 Cubic Inches)
11.5" wide x 9" deep x 21" tall (29cmx23cmx54cm)
We recommend an Orange Liner (pictured). Please email for custom options: info@trucedesigns.com.
PLEASE NOTE: Only TWO bags available with the "US" lettering. First come first serve. Update: both SOLD.
Customer Testimonial
"My Truce bag is my everyday carry. I live in Seattle and need my stuff to stay dry. The Truce Drop Liner performs! The combination of style and function is unmatched."
Nathan
Wired Magazine Review
"The ultradurable, resin-fiber-reinforced sailcloth exterior of Truce’s bag is made from sails that once powered racing yachts. Add a seam-sealed liner fashioned out of leftover fabric from dry suits—like a wet suit for diving, but you don’t get wet—and you have a waterproof shell that can shed even the hardest rain."

Customer Testimonial
“This is what I wanted you to know about how wonderful your product is. A couple of months we got stuck riding in a really bad rain storm for about 6 miles. I had my bag packed with all my clothes etc... for a weekend out of town. Needless to say we got soaked. When we got to our destination and unpacked, all my things were dry (I was soooo happy about that). Did I tell you that I love my Truce bag... Anyway, my boyfriend had his stuff back in a traditional backpack and guess what? Yes, all of his things were very wet.
So, thanks for making such a cool bag. I did say that I love my bag…”

"Nineteen months ago, I finally bought one of your medium drop liner backpacks and couldn't be happier. I usually buy a new bag/backpack every year, but I think this one is staying with me for forever!"
