Backpack makeup (5)

I believe the answer is:

nylon

(Other definitions for nylon that I've seen before include "Artificial fabric" , "Type of material" , "Cover for leg" , "Fabric (originally from New York and London)" , "Unaccompanied part song" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
