I use to make pack like this out of 1.9 oz ripstop nylon back around 1993 when Iwas sewing on workmans comp. trying to find out if I wanted to make a living making backpacks.Removable 1 " webbing belt is also on the pack.

    Terry,

    I've had good luck making my packs out of 1.9 once uncoated nylon. How did that older pack you made out of 1.9 ounce nylon hold up over time?

    I used coated I purchased from OWF back then. The day pack lasted pretty long till I started to carry multiple radios for my 3 different power slope scale R/C glider and lead balast in them. I was bushwhacking thru chaparral to different slopes that had no trails to fly slope gliders.
