Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and I looked in the search index and couldn't find much on where to buy patterns for outdoor shell jackets. Also where can you get patterns for backpacks?

here is a source for some "not so new" design ideas

There's also this place. They seem to have the most modern, technical jackets I've found.

Also there are a couple FREE patterns on the Six Moons Designs web site for a bivy and a simple tarptent:
