measure from where you want the bottom edge of the pack to sit against your back to a point level with the center of your shoulder, in a straight line. use a small level or straight edge to measure too.

#10 YKK watersistant zipper access.

June 2023: this pack has become really popular as a ski pack, the sewn on avalanche tool pocket,ski slotsand the side access zipper. Built in the Challenge Ultra 400 and 800 fabrics it will easily hold up to the abuse of ski's and boards.

 

the pack is available from 30-50+ liters.

 

all the different fabric options and feature can be discussed on the pack set up call.

 

I often say no 2 packs are ever alike. the custom order form is just a starting place to design your pack around. often bag proportions are adjusted to fit your actual body shape. A customer with a short torso shouldn't be wearing the same bag shape as someone with 21'' torso

How to order:

  1. place the item you want in the cart
  2. schedule phone, zoom or in person design meeting
  3. pay the $100 design/consult fee. this is applied to final cost of the pack.
  4. watch the snow fall
  5. open email that your order is up and visit/call/zoom to finalize pack/bike bags/etc.
  6. pay final invoice
  7. wait 4-6 weeks to get your gear!

The current base price is $800 but the $100 doesn't lock in the final price. It may change between when you get on the list and I get to it. I have no idea what Tariffs will do to material costs.
