    SALE PRICE ON REMAINING 2011 NEWTS

    $65 – IN STOCK NOW AND READY TO SHIP
    Current 2011 Newt That is On Sale
    2011 newt

    DISCLOSURE: We will be releasing the 2012 NEWT in a few days – the major change is the addition of a wrap around front mesh pocket.

    Get a a super deal on the current NEWT while they last…The one difference on these last few Newts is the change to a LineLock buckle for the roll top that saves some weight. That buckle will be on the 2012 Newts too.

    Folks may remember our plans mentioned over the last months on " PlaceNook" for the 2012 NEWT aka "Son of Newt" aka " Marsupial" aka " NewtDaddy"

    Note that the NEWT and most all MLD Packs use the very durable and strong 210d Dyneema X ™.

    Dyneema X:
    210d nylon ripstop
    9% Dyneema content by weight
    Nylon X Pattern Abrasion Over Weave
    Medium weight PU WaterProof inner coating and DWR outside coating
    About 4.2oz sq/yd

    Another fabric that looks a lot like the Dyneema X in a web picture is coming out on some packs by another company soon and multiple websites and blogs – including posts on BPL- have confused the two fabrics as the same.

    To make the distinction clear- that fabric is:

    140d nylon ripstop
    6% dyneema by weight
    Plain Weave
    Light weight PU inner coating
    About 3.2oz sq yd

    The 210D Dyneema X is over twice as strong and abrasion resistant as that second fabric.

    Small packs use only about 1 sq/yd of primary body fabric.

    Thanks, Ron! I was thinking about grabbing a Newt for an around the office and town bag (not to mention SUL sack). I appreciate the sale!
