Re getting the packs, if timing allows we would like to pick them up as we live in Gibbston, near Queenstown - can we communicate on that one based on when you make them?

As for Chris, any design thoughts based on our info and your experience, please let us know! We reckon that if this works, there might be a lot of bike packers thinking it is a good idea!"

Just to reiterate our intent - the packs will be used as a front roll bag on a Salsa Anything Cradle. So the material needs to deal with the abrasion that comes with being strapped in a cradle on the front of a MTB. We have selected compression straps because we want to make the load tight before it is strapped into the cradle. The packs will also be used to carry all our gear when we are doing hike-a-bike rather than pushing a loaded bike. Feel free to come back with any design comments!

Cheers
Chris"

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"

We spoke with you just before you went. I'm a friend of Jenny Walker who loves the pack you made for her. Have decided to proceed with a pack for me (Glen - female) and not for Paul at this stage. If you need to contact me, my phone is 022 0027627 (but I often have it on silent because of my work - so a text or phone message is good and I'll get back to you.)

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."
