More New BPL Products for 2010

My head is spinning…..

Rock on!

I'm excited for the insulated parka.

I wish the Cocoon pants were coming out earlier…that is, if they have full side zips.

I'm glad for the new 550s. I have been wanting one and they're out of stock… will be excited to see the new finish.

Ryan,
My ADP weighs 31.25 oz with an additional 10.1 oz for the 50L drybag. Total is 41.35 oz.

Does the estimated weight (24-28 oz) of the new Arctic Dry Pack include the dry bag? If so, that would be major weight savings.

I'll get in line for that now!

Put me on the list for the Arctic Dry Pack.

And on a side note, get your shipping to Europe (Australia, Asia, South America, Aftrica, etc.) in order first. Its ridiculous, yes, RIDICULOUS to pay 35$ for a 5$ item which weights 1 oz.

Thanks for the update Ryan. It is always nice to know what we can expect from the BPL "skunkworks" in the next few months.

Thanks for the teasers, Ryan!

I find it entertaining to look for new and protype gear in your articles and videos. But this time I wonder perhaps I have spotted the new Arctic Dry Pack in the pictures for other gear – the Stealth Nano Tarp.

Tarp pic with Dry Pack?

That’s definitely not an Absaroka! It’s probably not an Arctic Dry Pack either, but it’s fun to guess!

Looks like one of Ryan's McHale packs to me.

That’s a fine piece of non-woven dyneema from Cilogear. Good guess though, Chris.

"get your shipping to Europe (Australia, Asia, South America, Aftrica, etc.) in order first. Its ridiculous, yes, RIDICULOUS to pay 35$ for a 5$ item which weights 1 oz."

I've tried this one a couple of times Hendrik. I have come to the conclusion that BPL simply isn't bothered about selling to customers outside the U.S.

That's a fine piece of non-woven dyneema from Cilogear.

= sexy and 'spensive

I´been using one cilogear 60 dyneema pack for the last year …. and I´m so upset about the pack , that I wrote a 5500 words review (17 text pages) with more than 20 photos about the issue….

Im trying to traslate the review to english….

coming soon :-(

Carlos – look forward to that review. I have heard some not so flattering things about the packs and these were on my radar screen so I am interested to find out your user experience!

Just paste the 17 pages into babelfish.altavista.com and it will give you a crude translation. It should be good enough to get the point across.

due to the contents of this review I´m going to send the first copy to graham to know his opinion.

Any idea when the Ultralight Fly Fishing Kit is going to make its way into the Gear Shop? Ryan mentioned something about March 2010 in the first post. The sun is quickly setting on the month of March and no update on the kit. Anyone?

The UL Fly Fishing Kit will be a go, we are in the process of sourcing the contents at this time.

Sam,

Do you have any info on when we might find out a little more about the 2010 product line (cocoon, pots, etc…)? Thanks

As these products have not entered the physical manufacturing process yet there is still the option for slight changes to the designs. Until those finalizations are complete I prefer to keep hush-hush.

Understood, thanks for the follow up.
