I would like to find some mesh material I can use as a back piece for my chest back to increase breathability. Fabric similar to stuff used on something like the Osprey packs. Hoping to find a tan/coyote and something that I can put some binding around. Suggestions on type or where to get some? Thanks.

Seattle Frbrics has Leno Mesh, only in black. It is what I used.

I have a random lot of spacer mesh in white from rockywoods. No way I'll ever use it all. I can send you whatever you need. I'm not sure if it will take a dye…

Randy thanks for the offer I will try either a black or something closer in color. I think the white might look off against the Tan 499 fabric I am using.

Thoughts on this. it comes in the color I am looking but bit it expensive for a 1 foot run at 50" wide. Not sure if that would be too stiff? It is just the back panel so I just need to attach straps to it.

Rockywoods seems to sell leno mesh in black too.

Another option but it is out of stock. Not sure if this would be durable enough though? I plan to ring the panel with some binding I have to make it look a bit nicer.

What do you think would work best?
