Black DCF Corner “XL” fanny pack with a storm

Black DCF Corner “XL” fanny pack with a storm flap over the zipper. Also a DCF front pocket with drain hole instead of the spandura.
The storm flap turned out really cool. Wonder where else I can incorporate these 🧐

Coloring Book is still my favorite #OutdoorInk pri

Coloring Book is still my favorite #OutdoorInk print on DCF. It’s especially fun for me, because each item is totally unique!I’ve been a bit slow on building backpacks recently. The reason is because I spent a lot of time reconfiguring the pattern for the Front Range 40L in order to laser cut some magnificent new patterns. And now that that’s all wrapped up, back to business as usual! In the mean time, I’ll be posting some of the fun custom and made to order fanny packs that I’ve neglected to post.

Loving these simple, really light packs. Slowly chipping away at the backlog after a bit of time off. More sweet custom packs coming soon!

Check out this sleek, murdered out Front Range pack. Slimmed down size similar to the Flatiron, but all the goodness of a traditional 3 pocket design. This pack also has a sewn in foam back panel.Do you like this design? Add it to the shop for 2021?

After the holi-daze, we are back.
Still working on packs.Check out this lovely mini Flatiron Pack. Roll top was reduced to the absolute minimum, so this is about 15L internal volume. Modeled after my absolute favorite summit pack in both the fabric, color and pocket choices.Custom features on this pack include a hydration bladder holder (interior, not pictured) and a hydration port.The daisy chain and webbing loops on the exterior are the perfect spot for tools you may be carrying for day excursions: ice axe, trekking poles, microspikes, etc.Starting to love these mini Flatiron Packs!

Another #outdoorink specially printed DCF Front Range 40L. This time the color is Pantone 468 AKA Desert Tan.
Notable customizations on this one are the two front pockets, one spandura and one net mesh, as well as the side water bottle pockets being cinch tops on DCF5.This was made before I left for vacation a few weeks ago. Just getting caught up as I get back to work!

I’ll be headed out of town for two weeks starting on Monday. Will be completing every order possible before I leave. I’ll still be available on here to talk, answer questions, etc, but will be off the sewing machines for a bit!

Carbon Fiber frames are now available for all cust

Carbon Fiber frames are now available for all custom Front Range 40L packs! Link in bio or swipe up on our story.This has taken a while to develop. I’ve been using carbon fiber tubes to add stability and increase weight limits on my packs for years, but never felt like it was “professional” enough to sell to others. Now it feels ready.The frame weighs 2.1 oz, and the whole system (interior attachment points) is about 3 oz total. This is a minimal system, so it is still recommended to keep total pack weight below or at 30 lbs. It’s a great way to give your bag a bit more capacity, while still being a really lightweight upgrade. I recommend also using a foam pad on the inside (or outside) for additional support and comfort.Have any questions about the system? Happy to answer them down below 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Our friend Katrina wore her bright orange VX25 Flex Fanny Pack for 120 days on the PCT, and it’s still intact!

Just sent out a wonderfully custom 60L backpack in

Just sent out a wonderfully custom 60L backpack in the lime green woven dyneema!This bag is based on one of my favorite pack builds from a few years ago (white/black, orange spandex and carbon frame system). That first pack was the first sewing project I made when I visited Colorado for the first time a few years ago.This pack weighs 28.8 oz.Other materials used were Dyneema stretch mesh, black gridstop, reflective polyester fabric and spandura for the bottom pocket. Last picture shows the two Flex Fanny Packs that can be used as hipbelt pockets.This pack has our carbon frame system that I’ll be announcing on the website soon. It will be limited to 10 frames only. The reason for this is that I hand built each one!How do you like this pack?#myog #ultralight #ultralightbackpacking #ultralighthiking #cottagegear #cottageUL #bespokegear #customultralightgear #hiking #thruhiking #handmadegear #redpaw #redpawpacks #gearmaker #smallbusiness #thruhiking #custombackpack #backpack #ulbackpack #edcbackpack #edc #ultralightbackpack #dyneema @thedyneemaproject @ripstopbytheroll #dcf #wovendyneema

There is a single Lime Green Woven Dyneema (5.2 oz CTwov35) in stock on my website! This is a super wacky fabric and very unique, even compared to other DCF fabrics. It’s quite stiff and holds shape (and creases) well.Made an extra one of these while working on a custom pack. There likely won’t be any more than this one.#myog #ultralight #ultralightbackpacking #fannypack #ultralightfannypack #ultralighthiking #cottagegear #cottageUL #bespokegear #customfannypack #customultralightgear #hiking #thruhiking #stretchytoppocket #waterproof #waterprooffannypack #handmade #handmadegear #redpaw #redpawpacks #fannypacks #gearmaker #madeinusa #smallbusiness #travelgear #thruhiker #dyneema @thedyneemaproject @ripstopbytheroll #dcf #wovendyneema

3 custom top loader Flex Fanny Packs shipped out today!As much as I love the end result of these, they are a real pain to make! So many panels/pieces for such a small item, means it takes way longer than normal.
Because of this, I will no longer be taking orders for these.

Tagged Mt Elbert (14,439 ft) AKA the highest point in Colorado. It was ~10 miles round trip and 4700 ft of elevation gain. Shouldn’t have underestimated Elbert, this one was pretty tough (even though it was all Class 1).If you ever see someone on trail with a lot of orange gear, (usually accompanied by a goofy golden retriever), be sure to say hey! Always a treat meeting folks on trail.I’m exhausted.. but anyway, back to work!#myog #ultralight #ultralightbackpacking #ultralighthiking #cottagegear #cottageUL #bespokegear #customultralightgear #hiking #thruhiking #handmadegear #redpaw #redpawpacks #gearmaker #smallbusiness #thruhiking #custombackpack #backpack #ulbackpack #edcbackpack #edc #ultralightbackpack #outdoorink
