When 525 ballistic came out I was thrilled to have a further ballistic option but in a slightly lighter version well suited to smaller EDC bags (Pilot, Synapse etc).
But looking online today, it seems the luggage bags (Aeronaut/WF) are also transitioning to the lighter fabric. I'm not sure how I feel about that. As a frequent traveller, the 1050 ballistic is supposed to be that ‘bombproof' fabric that will last a lifetime.
I also don't want the lighter flexibility of the 525 in a big bag where keeping its shape is important to me.
Maybe I missed an announcement of 1050 being retired but I can't see both 525 and 1050 being offered side by side as options.
This would be a real shame to lose 1050 in the big bags, and one that would make me think twice further purchases.
