A fairly standard build in black with an orange back panel, hopefully for some pack rafting and general use.
If possible please add a loop on the front as a handle to lift the pack from that side, wide enough to get a hand through so about 10cm apart where it is sown. I will email a photo of what I'm thinking for that.
I am away until 21st April but will be back in Te Anau after that to discuss anything. The only thing I wasn't sure about is how thick to make the side pockets, so maybe I can come in later next week to look at the fabric options for that.
Thanks,
Gerard"

I have chosen Brick Red colour as from the fabrics picture, it looks like what I would describe as burnt orange? Is this correct?
Side pockets colour in the video one I'm guessing is Black Knight?
Strap fabric in the video I’m guessing is Black Knight as well?
I put for two strap bottle pockets, but I’m actually wanting one bottle pocket and one mobile phone pocket please (like the video)
Waist Belt in the video I’m guessing is Black Knight again?
If you are able to deliver by 20th April for my tramp I’m planning, that would be amazing, but I understand if your lead times are longer."

It was great to meet when we visited your workshop in January, sorry it took me so long to put an order through.
For the 'small heavy duty alpine' side pockets: are these the type that the tip of a snowstake could tuck into, if it is held by the compression strap? If so, that's great. If not, are you able to send a picture of an example so I can see?
I'd really like to get the Ultra 400 TX fabric on the base, but also on the bottom few centimetres of the pack (like on this pack: https://www.instagram.com/p/CnP09OKSFxv/). Would that work here?
Also - perhaps most importantly! - can I get one of the side panels in tropic teal, and one in bright blue?
Thanks,
Thomas

I'm happy to take your advice on details. I'm 60 so it doesn't have to last forever, but light would be good and want to tramp, ski touring carry to hut pack and carry my wife's gear on some of the days ie the long top. Outer back pocket for wet gear and side for empty water bottle. my Aim is a large, waterproof Fiordland trips that i can still fit in small luxuries. Could you secure a pocket on the left shoulder strap below the sternum strap for a phone (80x160mm) so it doesn't bounce around maybe sew it on both sides with a waterproof zip and flap. Is the triangle on back pocket to protect ice axe point, they are good at tearing packs? I have a trip on the 19th April enough time?

I understand you gave him a prototype or updated bag after he sent his old one in for repair. I thought the bag went fantastic. 
I only have a few modifications from that experience. 
Could the external access pocket please be sewn into the side around its perimeter such that it isnt a loose flap inside the bag. could it be slightly larger than normal or sized to fit a small first aid + headtorch and battery bag. I found that this got in the way of the packraft or or pulling out things buried deep in the bag when really full. Might not solve the issue so if you have any experience doing this id be keen to hear. 
I also thought the side pockets could be 25mm deeper. Not sure if things have changed since then but if thats possible to make them slightly deeper than his were, and shift the first side compression strap up to match that would be great. 
Also keen for a teal bum bag.

I only have a few modifications from that experience. 
Could the external access pocket please be sewn into the side around its perimeter such that it isnt a loose flap inside the bag. could it be slightly larger than normal or sized to fit a small first aid + headtorch and battery bag. I found that this got in the way of the packraft or or pulling out things buried deep in the bag when really full. Might not solve the issue so if you have any experience doing this id be keen to hear. 
I also thought the side pockets could be 25mm deeper. Not sure if things have changed since then but if thats possible to make them slightly deeper than his were, and shift the first side compression strap up to match that would be great. 
Also keen for a teal bum bag.

A fairly standard build in black with an orange back panel, hopefully for some pack rafting and general use.
If possible please add a loop on the front as a handle to lift the pack from that side, wide enough to get a hand through so about 10cm apart where it is sown. I will email a photo of what I'm thinking for that.
I am away until 21st April but will be back in Te Anau after that to discuss anything. The only thing I wasn't sure about is how thick to make the side pockets, so maybe I can come in later next week to look at the fabric options for that.
Thanks,

I have chosen Brick Red colour as from the fabrics picture, it looks like what I would describe as burnt orange? Is this correct?
Side pockets colour in the video one I'm guessing is Black Knight?
Strap fabric in the video I’m guessing is Black Knight as well?
I put for two strap bottle pockets, but I’m actually wanting one bottle pocket and one mobile phone pocket please (like the video)
Waist Belt in the video I’m guessing is Black Knight again?

It was great to meet when we visited your workshop in January, sorry it took me so long to put an order through.
For the 'small heavy duty alpine' side pockets: are these the type that the tip of a snowstake could tuck into, if it is held by the compression strap? If so, that's great. If not, are you able to send a picture of an example so I can see?
I'd really like to get the Ultra 400 TX fabric on the base, but also on the bottom few centimetres of the pack (like on this pack: https://www.instagram.com/p/CnP09OKSFxv/). Would that work here?
Also - perhaps most importantly! - can I get one of the side panels in tropic teal, and one in bright blue?
Thanks,

Could you secure a pocket on the left shoulder strap below the sternum strap for a phone (80x160mm) so it doesn't bounce around maybe sew it on both sides with a waterproof zip and flap.

Thanks again for your call yesterday. 
Re materials, I’m happy to let you make choices for anywhere that wasn’t Ultra 400 TX. Durability is the priority for me. That being said, I’d love white colour anywhere that didn’t compromise on durability.
I’ve listed the custom items we talked about below. Please do let me know if I need to pay extra for any of these. I realise this is quite a few extra features, so do let me know.
1. Solid back pocket (can this be white?)
2. Third compression strap / solid strap over the side pockets so that skis can be mounted. I selected the ‘small alpine pockets’ but wasn’t actually sure what the difference was between this and the normal ones. First priority is third strap. Having a small side pocket to fit a 1L Nalgene would just be a bonus.
Not essential custom items:
3. Can there be both gear loops + Licra pouches on the waist belt?
4. Swap the male and female buckles on the top right compression strap so that the roll-top can also be secured to the side compression straps (this was just recommended by a friend).

Zach"

Thanks again for your call yesterday. 
Re materials, I’m happy to let you make choices for anywhere that wasn’t Ultra 400 TX. Durability is the priority for me. That being said, I’d love white colour anywhere that didn’t compromise on durability.
I’ve listed the custom items we talked about below. Please do let me know if I need to pay extra for any of these. I realise this is quite a few extra features, so do let me know.
1. Solid back pocket (can this be white?)
2. Third compression strap / solid strap over the side pockets so that skis can be mounted. I selected the ‘small alpine pockets’ but wasn’t actually sure what the difference was between this and the normal ones. First priority is third strap. Having a small side pocket to fit a 1L Nalgene would just be a bonus.
Not essential custom items:
3. Can there be both gear loops + Licra pouches on the waist belt?
4. Swap the male and female buckles on the top right compression strap so that the roll-top can also be secured to the side compression straps (this was just recommended by a friend).
Cheers,
Zach"

I've had two great bags from you - a 35L and a 45L. After some time with the recent super orange 45L bag, I think I have realised a couple of things that I need for my trip that have come up in this bag:
- A bit of extra rolltop for water carries and food
- Full size side pockets as I've found they are useful for me
- No hip belt pockets - these were not as useful as I thought
- Also some extra colours is fun
Regarding my torso length, I wanted to double check the length that I sent you
- 49cm torso length 
- 96cm waist circumference
I will send you an email with some photos of my bag on a recent trip. I have previously had a 35L bag from you that I had my torso length at 53cm, and my recent 45L bag from you was at 49cm - I will attach some photos to an email and see if you think I should go for a longer pack perhaps - the 49cm bag is the 45L ultra+orange one, and while it feel comfortable enough, the bag does feel a bit like it rides up touch high and the shoulder straps don't feel like they sit quite right. I'm in a bit of a rabbit hole here but I think even though 49cm seems to be the measurement my friends take, perhaps something a bit longer might be better for this bag - what are your thoughts?
I'd like to customise the colour choice - the theme is to have a variety of colours in this bag, with some of the left and right colours having a red and blue consistency.
If I am wearing the bag, then the colours I would like are:
- Left strap fabric: Ecopak RBC 450RS - Revel Red
- Right strap fabric: Ecopak RBC 450RS - Bright Blue
- Left waist belt colour: Ecopak RBC 450RS - Revel Red
- Right waist belt colour Ecopak RBC 450RS - Bright Blue
- Left pocket fabric: Ecopak RBC 450RS - Revel Red
- Right pocket fabric: Ecopak RBC 450RS - Bright Blue
- Left Side Panel: Ecopak EPX200 Fuchsia
- Right Side Panel: Ecopak EPX200 Bright Orange
Other colours are as stated above in the pack builder.
Finally regarding weight - I'm keen to get this bag as light as I can - this is my thru hiking bag for the pacific crest trail, and I'd love to get close to the 600-750g weight if I can.
Let me know if you've got any questions :)
Also, do you think the bag would be able to arrive before April 27? I fly out that day to the USA to hike the PCT so would need the bag before then ideally!"

Side pockets: Shallow ones with Ecopack EPX200 Golden Dazy
The little triangles on shoulder harness: EPX200 Golden Dazy if possible
Shoulder harness pockets: Is it possible to make a pocket that's like the one on a running vest? It is built-in, the side is non-elastic fabric and the other part has a meshy a little bit strethcy material. The opening top has an elastic chord to be able to sinch it so that a water flask/bottle doesn't jump out. I will send you an email with pictures and measurements. Or otherwise the low-profile flat pockets just like George's would do (double layered one). 
Top strap: The Y-strap
Ice Axe attachment: I had to re-think about this because if I get the triangle I cannot use it to put my walking poles away. I really like the front design of the Macpac Pursuit (the only thing I like about the pack). If you could immitate that, it would be really really great. I will send you an email about it too.

Back pocket /pouch I use for food on the go and wind breaker jacket so don’t have to stop and open pack to get to it.
Side pockets used for cycle size drink bottles, walking poles and sometimes paddle . So width to fit bottle and about 20cm deep I think would be about the right sizing depending what you think.

Shoulder harness pockets: Is it possible to make a pocket that's like the one on a running vest? It is built-in, the side is non-elastic fabric and the other part has a meshy a little bit strethcy material. The opening top has an elastic chord to be able to sinch it so that a water flask/bottle doesn't jump out. I will send you an email with pictures and measurements. Or otherwise the low-profile flat pockets just like George's would do (double layered one). 
Top strap: The Y-strap
Ice Axe attachment: I had to re-think about this because if I get the triangle I cannot use it to put my walking poles away. I really like the front design of the Macpac Pursuit (the only thing I like about the pack). If you could immitate that, it would be really really great. I will send you an email about it too.

Back pocket /pouch I use for food on the go and wind breaker jacket so don’t have to stop and open pack to get to it.
Side pockets used for cycle size drink bottles, walking poles and sometimes paddle . So width to fit bottle and about 20cm deep I think would be about the right sizing depending what you think.
From a colour perspective I like the black, grey and orange example on the website, orange flashes for visibility back and ground useful

I've had two great bags from you - a 35L and a 45L. After some time with the recent super orange 45L bag, I think I have realised a couple of things that I need for my trip that have come up in this bag:
- A bit of extra rolltop for water carries and food
- Full size side pockets as I've found they are useful for me
- No hip belt pockets - these were not as useful as I thought
- Also some extra colours is fun
Regarding my torso length, I wanted to double check the length that I sent you
- 49cm torso length 
- 96cm waist circumference
I will send you an email with some photos of my bag on a recent trip. I have previously had a 35L bag from you that I had my torso length at 53cm, and my recent 45L bag from you was at 49cm - I will attach some photos to an email and see if you think I should go for a longer pack perhaps - the 49cm bag is the 45L ultra+orange one, and while it feel comfortable enough, the bag does feel a bit like it rides up touch high and the shoulder straps don't feel like they sit quite right. I'm in a bit of a rabbit hole here but I think even though 49cm seems to be the measurement my friends take, perhaps something a bit longer might be better for this bag - what are your thoughts?
I'd like to customise the colour choice - the theme is to have a variety of colours in this bag, with some of the left and right colours having a red and blue consistency.
If I am wearing the bag, then the colours I would like are:
- Left strap fabric: Ecopak RBC 450RS - Revel Red
- Right strap fabric: Ecopak RBC 450RS - Bright Blue
- Left waist belt colour: Ecopak RBC 450RS - Revel Red
- Right waist belt colour Ecopak RBC 450RS - Bright Blue
- Left pocket fabric: Ecopak RBC 450RS - Revel Red
- Right pocket fabric: Ecopak RBC 450RS - Bright Blue
- Left Side Panel: Ecopak EPX200 Fuchsia
- Right Side Panel: Ecopak EPX200 Bright Orange
Other colours are as stated above in the pack builder.
Finally regarding weight - I'm keen to get this bag as light as I can - this is my thru hiking bag for the pacific crest trail, and I'd love to get close to the 600-750g weight if I can.
Let me know if you've got any questions :)
Also, do you think the bag would be able to arrive before April 27? I fly out that day to the USA to hike the PCT so would need the bag before then ideally!"

Shoulder harness pockets: Is it possible to make a pocket that's like the one on a running vest? It is built-in, the side is non-elastic fabric and the other part has a meshy a little bit strethcy material. The opening top has an elastic chord to be able to sinch it so that a water flask/bottle doesn't jump out. I will send you an email with pictures and measurements. Or otherwise the low-profile flat pockets just like George's would do (double layered one). 
Top strap: The Y-strap
Ice Axe attachment: I had to re-think about this because if I get the triangle I cannot use it to put my walking poles away. I really like the front design of the Macpac Pursuit (the only thing I like about the pack). If you could immitate that, it would be really really great. I will send you an email about it too.

I have another smaller pack but want this one when need to carry a bit more gear including paddle at times (would be useful for bottom of pockets to have slightly heavier fabric is possible to take the wear of carbon paddle end. 
Back pocket /pouch I use for food on the go and wind breaker jacket so don’t have to stop and open pack to get to it.
Side pockets used for cycle size drink bottles, walking poles and sometimes paddle . So width to fit bottle and about 20cm deep I think would be about the right sizing depending what you think.
From a colour perspective I like the black, grey and orange example on the website, orange flashes for visibility back and ground useful

As per the email this will be used as a daypack for hunting while leaving the main pack behind.  My Current pack is canvas and weighs more than 1kg.  It also takes up alot of room in my main pack.
I'm a little confused by the fabric choices. I'm hoping for something that will survive a bit of scrub bashing but still be light and packable.
Also hoping to use the side compression straps in combination with the side pockets to store some gear on the outside of the pack i.e. tripod and walking stick.
Is it also possible to get loops for an ice axe?

I've used a couple of frameless packs the last few years that I do love (ULA CDT and HMG 2400) however there's something that always ends up bothering me: when the straps are curved over your shoulders evenly the top of the pack always ends up falling away from your body in a slightly annoying way. It really seems to impact the way the pack hugs your shoulders and upper back, and how the load is distributed across your shoulders.
This situation only seems to arise near the top-end of my carry weight (8KG or so with tent). Of course, it's always more noticeable if you start using the neck of the pack but I generally think that's something you should live with as a temporary situation.
Anyway, enough rambling. I think a couple of lifters would help cinch the top of a pack up against the top of my shoulders and make things more ergonomic. I reckon this would be worth the weight."

As per the email this will be used as a daypack for hunting while leaving the main pack behind.  My Current pack is canvas and weighs more than 1kg.  It also takes up alot of room in my main pack.
I'm a little confused by the fabric choices. I'm hoping for something that will survive a bit of scrub bashing but still be light and packable.
Also hoping to use the side compression straps in combination with the side pockets to store some gear on the outside of the pack i.e. tripod and walking stick.
Is it also possible to get loops for an ice axe?
Cheers,
Matt"

I've used a couple of frameless packs the last few years that I do love (ULA CDT and HMG 2400) however there's something that always ends up bothering me: when the straps are curved over your shoulders evenly the top of the pack always ends up falling away from your body in a slightly annoying way. It really seems to impact the way the pack hugs your shoulders and upper back, and how the load is distributed across your shoulders.
This situation only seems to arise near the top-end of my carry weight (8KG or so with tent). Of course, it's always more noticeable if you start using the neck of the pack but I generally think that's something you should live with as a temporary situation.
Anyway, enough rambling. I think a couple of lifters would help cinch the top of a pack up against the top of my shoulders and make things more ergonomic. I reckon this would be worth the weight."

I certainly wouldn’t expect any special deals. There are a couple of details I’d like to add/change if possible (and I’m happy to pay any extra for non-standard stuff):
1. I’m wondering if the 80mm straps will be too wide for my little shoulders? I should have tried your pack on the other week! Is it possible to go down to, say, 70mm (and put the extra 20mm gap in between the straps)? If this messes with your patterns/construction etc too much then all good. 
2. Would it be possible to have Lycra pockets on the shoulder straps? I see you‘ve done this on some of your other packs…
Thank you :)
