I saw in the last few months one of those DIY fabric/materials places a source for a flat version of what Arc'teryx calls its "Aeroform" mesh back panel you can find on its Axios series backpacks. This stuff is amazing and I'm trying to find a source for it and thought I had saved the link somewhere but after spending several days looking for it again now I am here asking if anyone knows where this can be found. Here's a link to a photo on Backcountry that is a magnification of the fabric to 70 times its normal size. This stuff wicks moisture away and introduces airflow. It is also very stiff and super strong. Arc'teryx keeps the weight of the Axios packs down because they use foam with holes in it and put this material on top in place of webbing on the straps and air passes right through but it's very comfortable and strong. And light. It's lighter than other materials of the same kind of strength. It's meant to be pressed up against your clothing which is wicking off your skin. It really seems to work and I really want to find this material if I can. Maybe someone knows...
