ULA Ohm price increase and option decease?

[Mark Jones]

Ben,

I agree. Give us a nice gray like the MLD packs. I asked Brian if he would consider making an Ohm in gray Dyneema. His reply: "Ohms are green not gray. I don't make gray packs and do not intend to do so." My response, nor do I intend to buy a green one.

Maybe Ken can provide an after-market pack colorizing service? :)

"Ken – I was looking for the link on how to dye dyneema, but was unable to find it. Do you dye it using regular RIT dye or is there some other additive that is needed?"

Nathan… The fabric in the Ohm is not Dyneema, it's actually Dyneema grid. Only the visible thin white lines are Dyneema, and the remainder is usually 210d which can be dyed quite easily.

Ken,
Did you just submerge the pack in a bucket full if RIT dye ? How did you keep the dye of the white & yellow ULA lettering at the bottom, and off the axe loops at the top ?
Thanks.

Some further information in a thread I started a little while ago:

I have dyed multiple packs including ULA, Golite and gossemer gear. Please feel free to PM for tips and answers to any questions you may have.

Yes just submerge the whole pack. The dye does not stick to the reflective coating on the loops. The thread for the embroidery is impervious to the dye as well. Nylon maybe.
