How easy is it to dye Cordura on a pack a different color? What product should one use, what application method is best, and can one expect any of the color rubbing off on clothing, etc?
Thanks,

Finally getting tired of your purple/green pack? :)
Liquid RIT dye. HOT water. Don't rush. Rinse well. Have fun. I love my black Circuit and Ion
@Ken — mind showing us a photo or two?
David, I used a big lidded plastic bin that fit in my laundry tub in the garage. Used 3 or so gallons of was just boiling water,careful. Poured the water and dye in the tub and stir. Put in the pack. Taking out frame sheet or whatnot. Stir it around. Put the lid on and stir once every five minutes for 20 minutes. Then dump it out and rinse in cold water until clear. This will take a while. Then when that was done, I washed it in our regular front loading washing machine, cold no soap. extra rinse Here is how it turned out on my remodified Ion and my ULA Circuit
Did not dye the ULA badging
Here is the ion
No problem with dye leakage from the 3d mesh or webbing. I couldn't be happier with the results
Very nice, Ken! I like how the black dye colored the cordura fabrics — without affecting the ULA Circuit logo.
Ken – that is awesome. Really looks great! Thanks for the pointers.
