I know nylon is sturdy and lightweight and all that, but I enjoy natural materials. There's been more and more evidence/reasons to believe that synethic fibers (mostly made of petroleum) might be carcinogenic. Nothing beats the good ol non-cancerous rugged real deal. And good canvas lasts a lifetime.
