Hello. Designing my first myog backpack. I will probably use a carbon fiber tube frame. I'm not sure exactly how it will work. I have connectors but they are heavy, probably .75 oz or more. Any thoughts on using double layer reflectrix as frame sheet and padding for shoulder and hip pads? I have so much left over from my first cozy years ago. Lol. Thanks and great site! I enjoy reading the posts. T
Reflectix is essentially bubble wrap with shiny on it. The shiny wears off fast and then you have bubble wrap.
I think foam would be better, or even a short inflatable as some packs use. Bubble wrap is neither very cushion-y nor durable enough for the constant wear.
yeah, I think bubbles would pop
1/8th or 1/4 inch foam. Like for a CCF sleeping pad.
I've used that for many trips. My sewing machine goes through it, barely, just a home machine. You have to sew through pad and fabric or the foam will roll around inside.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll try and pop some "bubbles" later tonight and see what happens. I have 3/8" cc foam from Quest on the way.
