No, but they use DCF, which is a lot lighter and guaranteed waterproof.Bonfus aren't using the Ultra fabric, unless you know something which isn't on their website?

Bought one of these couple of month back.Multi-Day 20L Frameless Ultralight Daypack – Backpack »
This backpack is the perfect size for hitting the trail for a day hike or garbing some food at the market. It also fits in the overhead bin of most airlines!liteaf.com
extra 2.3lts , osprey manage to do itTry calculating the volume with the given dimensions
For the large I get just over 16L to the extension collar seam in the medium (where they say 28L). You do gain some volume when the pack barrels but not even close to 12L. Of course to the top of the extension collar it's 22.3L which is probably not far off the quoted 28L internal volume with quite a bit of barrelling.extra 2.3lts , osprey manage to do it
These new EPL Ultra backpacks?Is it me....or do they all look pretty much the same....?
Kings New Clothes yada yada...
These new EPL Ultra backpacks?
Yeah, it's only available in 2 colours (maybe 3, SWD might have a blue) so there's no disguising with colours that all these ultralight backpackd are pretty similar to each other.
Hang on... did I miss Bonfus saying they are already working with EPL Ultra?Ooooh. So the question is why are the side pockets, hip belt and shoulder straps not in EPL Ultra. Because it's a prototype pack and they have those pieces already made.
Or is there a non-economic or non-prototype reason for it.
Dunno.
Interesting, can I ask how you know this?I think there’re 9 colours, just have to buy a lot to get them

I'd want an Iterus not a framed back though.
They haven't got a delivery yet but will be using it in a month or so...Well, as far as I know they haven't said so. But the material in the picture looks like EPL Ultra and there aren't really any other 'revolutionary new fabrics' I can think of.
Interestingly, they use Dyneema gridstop for the side pockets, shoulder straps, and hip belt on the Ultra 200/400 versions and not Ultra 200/400. SWD do the same thing on some of their packs.View attachment 34109
