Thread: 50L ish Packpacks

Hey Guys
Just a thought. Often see people using separate dry bags for every item they are packing. Kinda creates canon balls in the pack. Don't use the stuff sacks for every individual item. Next time try a big inner dry bag that fits your pack. Stuff your sleeping bag, down and clothing, rolled up sleeping pad (wity rubber band) in the base and heavier gear up toward the top. Much more efficient use of space, lighter and quicker to pack.

I tend to use a few drydags myself for different things. But find if you don't compress and roll them to tight they work great. It only becomes a problem if you really stuff small ones tight then it gives you the canon balls. Slightly bigger drybags not tight is my go too but thinking of making a large pack liner to give a try when I get some time.

Your awesome pack design is perfect for rhis set up. From memory Thar seam sealed the inner bag. Not a perfect solution as any bag that is stitched will leak, but fine in the dry.

Exo use a light dry bag inner option that has a plastic lip that forms to the inner bag lid. It also has clips in the middle so iff you want to dirch your big inner dry bag and hang it you can. Works great.

If you coukd do a meat shelf design that would probably be a first in dyneema packs?

Yes. I went head first into the pack to do it.
