I just got back from a solo trip in Zion and got to use my new pack, it worked great, I may add a sleeve inside to put the GG sit pad in to hold it in place.

Back and sides VX-07
Side pockets 1/8 rawhide mesh and Dyneema X
Harness- 3D mesh, Dynemma, 1/4" CCF
Removable back pocket VX-21, Dyneema X, Uretek #5
Dyneema X waist pocket lined with 3D mesh for camera.

Weight is 13-15.75oz depending on the options.

That must feel great to hit the trails with your own pack! I'm about to start in on one for myself.

I like the dyneema above the mesh on the sides. Keeps it from stretching too far. I've had a bottle 'roll' out of a stretch mesh pocket. I also like how the mesh doesn't reach the ground where it can pick up sticks and muck.

Does the waist webbing go under the dyneema and all the way around or are those just stubs sewn to the dyneema/CCF/3D?

Where did you source the VX?

Nice job.

Thanks. The 1" webbing is sewn to only the end of the waist belt through the dyneema/3D/CCF, all critical attachments are triple reinforced with Tera 40. I got the VX fabric from rockywoods, hardware from Zimmerbuilt.
