EPX200 is the world's first 100% recycled laminated pack fabric, and on this briefcase, it looks and performs exactly as you'd expect from HeldClosely.
DESCRIPTION
The HeldClosely Briefcase in Ecopak EPX200 carries everything the Ultra200x version does — the expandable capacity, the minimal silhouette, the precision hardware — wrapped in a fabric that gives you something extra: a genuinely clean conscience.
What is Ecopak EPX200?
Developed by Challenge Sailcloth, Ecopak EPX200 starts with a 100% recycled REPREVE polyester face, bonds it with a proprietary 100% recycled waterproof film, and finishes it with a C0 DWR water repellent — completely fluorocarbon-free. The 200-denier face is cross-ply reinforced at 45° for structure and cut resistance, backed by a 70-denier ripstop for stitch strength superior to traditional pack fabrics. No TPU, no PVC, no harmful coatings. Every component — face, film, backing, cross-ply — is recycled. The bag itself is recyclable at end of life. For a bag you'll carry every day for years, that matters.
It's a softer, slightly more textured hand than Ultra200x — warmer in aesthetic, equally tough in the field.
Expand when you need to. Disappear when you don't.
An expansion zipper circles the perimeter, growing the main compartment from a sleek 15L to a full 20L. Double top zippers open the compartment wide, giving you clean, unobstructed access without digging. Two UltraStretch interior pockets hold the two included EPX200 pouches upright and vertical — easily retrieved even when the bag is packed to capacity.
Front panel, fully considered
A waterproof zippered pocket handles quick-access essentials — cards, passport, transit pass. Beside it, an UltraStretch pocket closes with a FIDLOCK magnetic snap: one-handed, silent, immediate. A hidden AirTag pocket sits discreetly inside, and a key loop keeps your anchor items reachable without rummaging.
Carry it your way
The removable shoulder strap connects via all-aluminium G-hooks — no plastic, no flex points, no failure. Top handle for the boardroom, shoulder strap for the street, no strap for the minimal look. The bag adapts without compromise.
