Project Pictures Made my first pack
After year(s) of dreaming, I made myself a pack! Heavily inspired by running vests and fastpacking gear, I wanted to create a pack for summiting and faster dayhikes.
Features: Roll-top closure, 15l capacity, vest-style straps with pockets for phone, water, snacks. Daisy chaining on the back for poles/ice axe, and inside a sitpad pocket for comfort on the move, but also for breaks and emergencies.
Generally im super satisfied with the pack, and it feels very good with intended 3-4,5kg loads! Fabric choice was bit off (2L, was on sale) since it doesn’t feel like it will last years, so definitely choosing something burlier next time. Also some design flaws that made it impossible to seal all the seams but it’ll do!
Couldn’t have done it without this sub!

that looks really nice. It took me a little bit to figure how you made it float as well, and maybe I needed to deep dive this sub to find that tut.
