About This Project

My goal is for Hawbuck to offer the best Dyneema wallets one can buy. I aim to offer the best Dyneema wallets through my dedication to frugal design and careful manufacturing.

Hawbuck started with a problem that I had, I couldn’t find the wallet I wanted. So, I made it, then improved it. I made some for friends, then started selling some. r/Ultralight community on reddit and folks on the backpacking light forums have been great boosters-- they’ve provided encouragement, feedback and ideas for new designs.

About The Material

If you made it to this site, there's a good chance you are already familiar with Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF).

If you aren't, in short-- Dyneema Composite Fabric is a super strong, ultralight and expensive class of materials.

More specifically, this is a class of materials that are laminated, that utilize ultra strong UHMPE fibers (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) in a matrix, bonded in layers of PET, Polyester film. For my wallets, I use Dyneema Composite Fabric Hybrid, the Hybrid denoting the fact that the laminate includes a 50d woven Polyester face cloth. This face cloth aids in abrasion resistance and ads a nice tactile feedback. I described this from memory, for a more accurate and comprehensive overview of the material, backpackinglight.com recently did a great podcast on the subject. This podcast includes some great info from Wes Hatcher from Cubic Tech, makers of DCF material. You can find that podcast here.
