How much weight can the material hold without ...

How much weight can the material hold without tearing at the bottom? Is the bottom reinforced?
Asked by: Matt
Unfortunately, the Lowepro RunAbout BP 18L Collapsible Backpack does not list a load capacity. It is made of lightweight nylon that can be rolled very tightly into a small tube. It is not made for extremely heavy items. It works as a daypack to carry lighter weight items when hiking. The bottom is not reinforced.

Can it be dyed black?

Can it be dyed black?
Asked by: James
The water-resistant Nylon material Lowepro RunAbout BP 18L Collapsible Backpack does not take to dyes very well. If it can be dyed, it would most likely have to be done with a special type of dye/method.
