How it is built

A three-layer cover: 300D woven outer face, a 4 mm closed-cell EVA core, and a taffeta lining, quilted on a 60 mm grid so the core cannot migrate to the hem. It is noticeably heavier and stiffer than a stretch cover, and it goes on more slowly.

Suits these shells

Hard shell, polycarbonate
Flexes under load and springs back. Takes surface scuffing more than cracking.
Hard shell, ABS
Stiffer and more brittle than polycarbonate. Corners are the usual failure point.
Soft side, fabric
Absorbs impact but scuffs and tears. Zippers and handles take the strain.
