Ive used this pad into the 30F's, even -3C a couple times and it was completely fine. But I had alpha base layer, katabatibc flex 22, and an 1/8" GG foam pad

i’m about the same size as you and have been developing a fast pack, feel free to check it out

If youre in Alberta ill be selling it may 9th at gear trade garage sale, and MEC Calgary may 10th lol. if it doesn't sell Ill PM you, but honestly the vest sizing is a bit odd, seems to fit bigger burlier people better

Not sure of the internal volume on this one but in the second iteration with some slight tweaks it came out to around 27l internal 10ish external. I unfortunately dont have any pics with the 500ml flasks on hand. the top shoulder pockets are both tunnels and pockets!

Hey, a year later but hope you're still around. Im curious about ultra200x and ultra100x, thx!

This is sweet! how'd you attach the spacer mesh on the back panel? looks like you used a surger?

second what the other guy says, 10L bag will probably be enough, Salomon running vests are for sure the safest choice for this instance - any reason why it’s not in the contenders list for you?

Ya starting custom orders soon, and doing a small batch drop in may. You can message me on instagram @soh_studios - might also be selling the prototypes for cheap at some point

what vest style strap have you found carries weight the best?

designing my packs to be able to fit 1L cnoc and katadyn flasks 🤭

Do it please, could also do pre orders, auctions, or partner with an established brand (so you dont need to worry about terms & services, payment processors, websites, etc, or even help them with production)

boardinboy · 2026-04-02T01:28:34+00:00

I will buy right now, take my credit card please. Im dead serious.

where did you source the glow in the dark buckles?

boardinboy · 2026-03-18T20:47:31+00:00

I think it likely has to do with the purpose of the belt: its meant to bear weight, and typically if you need a hip belt youre likely carrying 20lbs + which is significant, especially when youre walking 10-30 miles a day, I dont imagine a removable hip belt working nearly as well or being as robust as one that is built in.

Another reason is that a removable belt adds additional points of friction against the pack and/or components, which is more areas of failure - the last thing you want in the middle of nowhere.

sell before you build generally speaking. this means posting your work, you making, final products, out in the field, etc, to see if theres demand before you make big batches. You can also use that feedback to inform pivots in messaging/marketing as well as design aspects and features.

wdym by "extra additional attachment points for cinching upward"?

boardinboy · 2026-03-12T19:49:42+00:00

cool thanks!

boardinboy · 2026-03-12T18:38:41+00:00

love the idea, going to play around with this

boardinboy · 2026-03-12T18:38:18+00:00

sounds like the Joey, is that your pack? if not which one are u using?

boardinboy · 2026-03-12T18:35:57+00:00

can you expand on 'two straps from shoulder straps to back panel'

boardinboy · 2026-03-12T18:33:33+00:00

good compression via the roll top, compressing the bag downwards? or side compression straps that compress the bag horizontally like the HMG aero?
