Im getting a pack built similar to this one BUT:
Im thinking about going with black 1.43 cuben for rolltop.
Do you think it will heat up, will the sun go though it easy?

Michael,
The cuben pack you show there is one Zimmer made for me a while back. I haven't noticed any kind of heat build up, but I'm also in the green tunnel quite a bit. Even the black cuben is somewhat see-through, although less so than the other colors I've used. Some light will get through.

Any pack material will absorb heat from the sun.
In the desert I wrap stuff like chocolate in my down layer. Doesn't melt.
Ryan: its a great looking pack, how has it been holding up? Is it made of 1.43 cuben or 1.0?
Nick: I plan on carrying a platypus up top, I wonder if sun will get through and maybe heat the water up?
I'd like to go with the cuben for weight savings, and there are a lot of people who use full cuben packs. Does anyone notice an increase in temps?
I haven't noticed that my Zero gets any warmer than any other pack. When it is hot outdoors, it is hot outdoors. Yogi Berra probably has a quote for this.
