Platinum, which launched in the US market at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market exhibition in Salt Lake City, comprises three backpacks and two travel bags.
Global Cordura brand marketing director, Cindy McNaull, said of the development: “Our fabrics pair perfectly with Billabong’s durable line of products for rugged outdoor adventure and travel.”
The fabrics offer enhanced tear and abrasion resistance with a wide variety of styling options, Invista has said. They are constructed with airbag-quality yarns.
Billabong describes the Apex pack as the “marquee piece” of the Platinum collection. It has an internal laptop sleeve, tricot-lined sunglass or audio pocket, drinks bottle side pocket, stowaway rain cover, side entry passport-stash pocket, and removable sunscreen sleeve.
Other products in the collection are the Combat backpack, the Recruit backpack, the Oceanic carry-on bag and the Atlantic travel bag.
