$60 is pretty high, even for 1-2 day service, then to get stung with the VAT too? Using mail services I have had good luck in both directions, proper mail services miss customs charges occasionally while fedex and teh like never do accidentally favour you on that stufff

As i said...cordura is porous without the coating on the back. you couldn't have the coating on the outer face of a messenger bag as it wouldn't last 5 mins.
How much water wicks through the cordura is dependant on the thickness and integrity of the coating.
A brand new piece of 1000d cordura with a good quality, intact coating on the back does prevent wicking....my point is that that coating breaks down pretty quickly through use on bags and so the cordura starts to let the water through.ah, well, my point was that cordurs is porous With the the coating on the back, straight from day one, tha't s why it isnt marketed as a waterproof material
-
That's cos it's only the coating on the back that adds waterproofing to cordura...once that rubs off it's porous.
Floating liners are the way!sort of, the coating on the back side helps prevent water sluicing through the fabric in volumous amounts but does little to prevent wicking, corduro begins to let water through as soon as the water no longer beads on the face side. Why i dont bother with undercoated fabric for my camping tent, a rain fly with a dwr coating on the face works better. cordoro is much heavier than the nylon for tents but it works in the same way
-
thats good because the nylon cordoro stuff only keeps the inside dry for short bits of rain

i'd recommend chicago wig backpacks if you can get hold of one.
had one - sold it to provenrad - too big, chest straps were off my shoulders almost - well made but no tarp liner. he's changed his design in the last few months mind you., not sure what they're like now
?? I don't follow, this "real" messenger bag has no impermeable liner? I suppose Chicago is a very dry environment I have never been there. If it doesn't rain there then it would make sense to use a bag that isn't waterproof to save money
