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!"

I have been looking at your packs for a while and decided to go for one of yours!
I live in Milford and am excited to find something so local. :)

Heading off to the States to hike the AZT in 2 months.

It's a little hard for me to imagine what the pack looks like with the colors I chose, haha but I trust your decision to swap the colors around as needed or suits the pack better in your opinion.

Is there any chance to only add 1 Zip up pocket? "

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.

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.
