I'm getting my last bit of materials together for my first attempt at a MYOG pack…
Does anyone know what kind of stretchy mesh GG uses in their older gorilla packs?? I want a stretchy lycra kind of mesh for the back pocket, but can't seem to figure out what material I'm actually looking for…
It seems spandura is quite heavy and not really stretchy.
Lycra mesh from quest seems to be a hit around here…
Any other thoughts???
Zpacks is now selling the material they use for the mesh pockets on their packs by the half yard.

Jennifer-
First pack- are you making a copy or trying your own design?
FWIW- I seem to always tinker and tinker on design. If you are not making a copy and unsure if it's going to turn out-
Just use bug netting- it eventually tears- but not the first trip. Cheap way to get a pack out for a dozen nights without breaking the bank (or if you try something and it doesn't work) I have a few packs that saw 30+ nights with no issues, and some pocket bottoms that weren't exposed last much longer. The big panel pocket doesn't last long- other stuff- much longer.
I have used the quest stuff- it's descent. Never found anything yet like the Osprey or other big guys mesh.
