In terms of the fabric used, both boast of a fabric thickness of 600D. And while Chef Sac is a polyester bag, Messermeister is made from nylon.
Nylon is generally more expensive and quite stronger than polyester but this beast of a fabric is just as resistant to stretching, shrinking, and abrasion as nylon.
