Sorry. Yes that is the point I was attempting to make. The more features of the individual product, the more likely they are to list the materials it is made from. Polyester or nylon seems to be the material of choice where it is listed. I think there is no need for more exotic materials like dyneema. And none I viewed looked like cotton duck or similar material.

otoh - dig a bit more and you can find exceptions. I found this second type of Gaelic Themes kilt roll - that also has a shoulder strap, and it's $4 less expensive than that first one. Again GT fails to list the materials, so maybe its just a habit of this one company.

Since I often do weekend trips with my gear in a backpack, on second thought, maybe a kilt roll with a shoulder strap would have some advantage for me over a soft roll type that packs inside a bag. Actually, even when I make more extended trips I do not use rigid bags. I switched to Rick Steves convertible carry on bag 7 years ago and haven't wanted anything else. All the RS products I have tried have been terrific.
