On this episode of the podcast, Joe sits down with Brigham (lead designer at Outdoor Vitals) to get into the nitty-gritty of exactly what is used to make your backpacking gear. The topics of this episode specifically dive into specific textile properties: fibers, yarns, and how those affect the fabrics that go into things like backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, and clothing. You'll learn all about man-made and synthetic fibers, some of the properties of common fibers such as polyester, nylon, wool, and cotton, amongst many other things. For those that want to get into the microscopic detail of their backpacking gear, this podcast is for you.
