I've just bought a Granite Gear Vapor Trail to replace my ill-fitting and heavier Osprey Atmos. I have yet to take delivery of it, but I'm already planning some modifications.
One of the things I really liked about the atmos was the lightweight mesh hip belt pockets, so I'm thinking of making something similar for the vapor trail. However, I only really used them to store trail snacks in, so I don't really need a zip. I was thinking of creating a mesh pouch with an elasticated top to close the pouch into the hip belt and keep everything secure.
I have no prior sewing knowledge, other than the occasional button, or hole in my T-shirt. But I do have a friend with a sewing machine.
Has anyone done anything similar? Or does anyone have any advice as to what materials I could use, and how I could attach it?
Thanks
