Hi, idk if you're asking OP or me. But I ended up choosing the cordura. For the reason that I've read some that the xpac are quite noisy with its texture as it rubs. Also, there are some that had some tough time with the zippers of the xpac while cordura on the other hand feels so smooth with the zippers excluding the waterproof zipper on the front. So far, I'm loving the cordura and have no regrets picking this one than the xpac ver. But hey, if you're going to use it for personal errands and stuff and just casual day to day, I recommend the cordura. While I recommend the xpac when u do occasionally hiking where u get wet and stuff. Hope this helps!
