Today I (nearly) finished my new pack. It’s a arc inspired pad. With integrated lumbar pad that can be stuffed from the outside and tensioned to form a arc or more flat..

It’s about 60 liters and has a roll top that can be fastened as a dry bag or to the side panels to get more compression. If the side straps aren’t used they can clip together and compress the pack.

A bottom pocket with stash/trash port. Flat bottom pockets and an additional stretch pocket on the side.

The pockets on the shoulder straps are the same design as atompacks. They fit a water bottle and my large smartphone. The sternum strap is fitted underneath and is accessible under the pockets. I just need to make the strap ;).

 

Here are some photos. If you have any questions let me know

My new myog hexpeak fits perfect in the side pocket.

Weight is about 900-1000 grams

Joost—Nice looking pack! Is it your first pack? If not, I’m curious about how many you’ve made. (I’m on my first one.)

Also, what fabric is it made out of?

It’s my second pack. The first was also an arc styles pack, for my wife ;) I learned al lot making that one and wanted to make another on with those lessons learned. Like my machine hates foam. I get a lot of missed stitches. So I did all the prep work first on the fabric and then sewed the 3d mesh and stuffed it. I still tried to do some bar tacks but they didn’t work that wel…
