A handful of Black VX21 Flex Fanny Packs, as well as a single Carbon VX15 FFP are in stock and ready to ship. Link in bio!

Thanks to our newest sewer Tyler, these packs came out really great. Hopefully we will be able to keep many more items in stock in the future. Planning to eventually stock a handful of backpacks on the site as well.

A feature filled custom Front Range 40L Pack is on

A feature filled custom Front Range 40L Pack is on it’s way to NY!

What’s different:
All spacer mesh replaced with Dyneema Woven Melange. Upper vest strap stretchy pockets flipped. Padded webbing handles on top and bottom. Woven Melange bottom pocket. Two bottom compression straps on the bottom, and two more on each side of the pack. One huge spandura stowaway pocket for the straps (which use a buckle at the bottom instead of a ladderlock) and the hipbelt. Hipbelt has stretchy spandura pockets built on.

Oh.. and the best part? The new internal Carbon Fiber frame system on the inside. More on that at a later date!

Weight: 30.3 oz (including frame and seam tape)

I made a shelter! This is a tarp build that fellow redditor (pto892– AKA master tarp maker) shared on the sub called the “YAFT”.

While I’ve made two tarps before, this orange mid tarp is by far the best quality fit and finish. I’m getting more patient using Silpoly and adjusting to do 12 foot long felled french seams. This tarp weighs 12 oz (after seam sealing). The accompanying stuff sack is 0.6 oz.

The tarp should fit Lucy and I in there comfortably. It’s spacious. And the headroom is even taller than my Big Agnes Fly Creek HVUL2.

Maybe I’ll make a custom inner net and bathtub floor next!

Waterproof Breathable Dyneema Rain Mitts! Headed off to @meowhikes for some testing. These weigh 0.8 oz for the pair. Really excited for his report back on this material. I don’t see many other shops using this stuff. Sewn and fully seam taped, just like all of our Dyneema products.

Do you use rain mitts? For what conditions? Thinking I may have to make myself a pair for winter backpacking in Colorado. These are way lighter than my ski gloves.

One day I’ll get around to my rain jacket and rain pants projects with this stuff! I’ve had it sitting in a drawer for over a year 😂

Unfortunately I won’t be adding these to the shop, I’m busy enough with packs. Thank you!

Check out my new experimental fanny pack. This one is nearly the same dimensions as the Flex Fanny Pack. But it has a wide opening “Corner Pocket” and a top opening zipper like our other model The Corner.

I realized my favorite Orange V15 Corner Fanny Pack was getting very old and stained.. so I figured I should treat myself to some #outdoorink burnt orange DCF hybrid 5.0.

It even matches my favorite wallet.

Really liking the size and shape of this one. Tell me your thoughts below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Check out this clean Flatiron Pack! Very similar to our last pack post, but this one has black gridstop vest straps. If you can’t tell, I try really hard on each pack to get clean sewing lines. The close up detail shots should give you a look at that. When working on a dyneema pack, especially for a customer, it feels like conducting surgery 😷

The Corner XL!

This is a new take on our “Corner” Fanny Pack. The dimensions are 8” length x 3” deep x 5.25” tall. With this version, you get the benefit of the Corner pocket, and top opening zipper in a bigger size! Would work great for a small mirrorless camera setup.
Weight is 3.1 oz including the hipbelt. This one was made in the popular #outdoorink Coloring Book print from @ripstopbytheroll

Should I add the Corner XL as a product on the website? Let me know below!

This Flatiron Pack is off to Norway!

White DCF and Black Spandura. Melange Vest Straps with cord and cord lock bottom pockets and short daisy chains above the upper pockets. Also added loops and shock cord for a foam pad. 21” torso length.

Gotta love a fresh white DCF pack!

This was also shipped with a Black DCF Flex Fanny Pack and a hipbelt to pair it to the backpack (as well as a regular fanny pack belt).

The BOULDER Duffle Bag. After over a year of dis

The BOULDER Duffle Bag.

After over a year of discussing this project with my friend @carlosacuna17 , I’m happy to say The Boulder is finally done!

The Boulder features a granite exterior, which is a print of one of my pictures of El Capitan in Yosemite NP. My photo was printed on the new 1000D Airwave fabric from @ripstopbytheroll and it feels solid. Like indestructible, solid.

The interior lining showcases a vintage map of Yosemite, including the highlights of El Cap, Half Dome, Cloud’s Rest and the Mist Trail (where Carlos and I hiked together a few years ago).

One of the best features of this duffle are the stow-able shoulder straps. Simply unbuckle at the bottom of the strap, then stow the shoulder strap in the sleeve and the webbing strap in the cut out pockets at the bottom.

The interior features a laptop compartment, with a removable foam piece for extra padding. Also included was a removable (via slik clip) toiletry bag for the interior.

There are pull handles all over this bag so it can be easily schlepped around while traveling or pulling it down from the overhead bin.

Tell me what you think about this duffle in the comments! 👇🏻

Lucy and I had a blast this morning at sunrise, bagging Mt Sherman (14,035’) and Mt Sheridan (13,748’) with @hanglooseandhikeon

I hit my goal of 10, 14ers today. And Lucy is at 7. Starting to feel more “mountain fit”, but still exhausted. The elevation starts to effect me less on every trip it feels like.

Hope you all had a wonderful Monday!

Starting to think I need to buy a full roll of this olive gridstop... it looks so sharp. And every time I post one of these packs I get messages asking for the olive! Let me know, should I make the olive a standard option?

Now onto this Front Range 40L pack:
Black DCFH back panel
Olive gridstop front panels
Black gridstop side pockets
Upper strap stretch pockets removed
Side compression strap replaced with cord and linelocs

Weight: 17.3 oz

Check out this stealthy all black Front Range 40. First FR40 order where someone didn’t choose the vest straps! Instead, they opted for 23” long J-straps (custom) with daisy chains and they intend to use one of our DCF shoulder pouches. This customer also got a Dyneema Woven Melange Flex fanny pack to match. Such a sharp looking pack!

Weight: 19 oz

Do you like the all black (murdered out) look or do you like your gear a bit brighter with colors?

Yesterday @mettille_triathlete and I hiked Mt Bier

Yesterday @mettille_triathlete and I hiked Mt Bierstadt, The Sawtooth and Mt Evans. This was by far the hardest 14’er hike I’ve done so far. The Sawtooth had Class 2 and 3 scrambling (AKA outdoor rock climbing) and that was definitely outside my comfort zone. Especially when there’s a sheer cliff underneath. High exposure trail for sure.

We did a total of 13.6 miles and over 4000 ft of elevation gain.

This was a heck of an adventure that even included a brief hail storm as we walked through sometimes knee deep mud and bushwacked through brush taller than both of us. (Swipe to see)

Kept testing my olive Flatiron Pack with the divided stretch pockets and I’m still loving it. Thinking to nickname it “The Scrambler Edition”

I’ve done 9 total 14’ers so far. Hoping to get at least one more complete this summer!

Check out this brightly colored Front Range 40L! No exterior pockets. Instead, 2 vertical daisy chains on both sides with 2 compression straps. Dyneema Stretch bottom pocket. The vest straps have large HDPE gridstop water bottle pockets with cinches.

One of the coolest parts of this pack is obviously the neon lime green 5.2 oz Coated Woven Dyneema fabric. This is a totally new fabric from @ripstopbytheroll and it’s very interesting. In theory, it should be mega durable. Working with it is a bit odd, as it’s very stiff (more than DCF) and forms the visible crinkles like a waxed canvas or similar. Overall, really stoked on this custom pack.

Pack weighs 17.6 oz!

Fidlock V Buckle

Phone pocket with 2 elastic daisy chains
Interior organizer for EDC items
Tapered design
Corner stretch pocket on front

Weight: 5.1 oz

Do you guys like the Fidlock buckles? I’ve been using the V buckle (same as this one) for a few weeks and it’s really dope. Magnetic to reattach the buckle instantly. When opening, you pull a cord and it “ejects” off of your waist.
It weighs ~ 0.5 oz more.

Want me to offer the Fidlock V buckles? (Note: they are pretty expensive ~$8 for just the buckle)

FINALLY! A handful of Flex Fanny Packs in “Gray

FINALLY! A handful of Flex Fanny Packs in “Gray Topo” DCF 5.0 are available on the website (link in bio) thanks to our friend @morgan.tuohy !

We were completely out of stock on our products for a while, but now these are available. Hoping to gradually build up our stock over the next couple weeks/months.

Since Red Paw has grown, it became clear I would need some help. Morgan has done a really impressive job on these fanny packs and has allowed me to focus on other projects.

Be sure to check out his camera-specific backpack startup: @nearzerolabs
He is making some really amazing gear and backpacks. I was literally blown away by how high quality his camera packs are. And I’m a harsh critic of sewn goods of any sort 😂

So grateful for all of our customers. You are the reason Red Paw is where it is. Thank you. As always, more exciting things are to come.

Check out this colorful custom pack! This fully custom bag was designed by @bytebit1 and I brought it life with the thread injectors. Always a pleasure working with great customers like David.

This pack uses a variety of different colors and textiles to be extra high visibility and contrasting with the environment. HyperD 300, Xpac VX21, VX25 were the fabrics used.

Loops were placed meticulously around the pack for various uses. Ladderlock strap adjusters were attached to the strap anchors on the pack (not the straps) for a “pull outward” motion to tighten the straps.

We have been corresponding for a couple months getting every little detail sorted out and just right.

Weight is around ~11-12 oz

Would you rock a pack with colors this bright? LMK in the comments

Check out this prototype I made for our Utah trip.

Check out this prototype I made for our Utah trip. It’s the Flatiron 28L Pack, but with dedicated slim side stretch pockets (big enough for a 1.5L bottle), one super tall stretch pocket on the front, and a webbing daisy chain for bulky or longer items.

This will be my go-to daypack now. I decided to go with the olive gridstop and black after building the Front Range 40 I posted yesterday. The Utah desert was the perfect environment to test this bag out.

Do you like this pack? Would you get a Flatiron 28L with this pocket configuration? LMK below

I’m going to be updating the FR40 design to use 3 panels for the front instead of just one, and this was one of the first packs to ship with the new design.

“Why would you switch the design?”
It’s much faster to build this way. Which means I can make more packs in less time.

“Was it a durability issue with the previous design?”
No. Neither my customers nor I have had an issue with the previous design. I will still warranty all packs for any and all workmanship flaws (like always).

As you can tell, the difference in aesthetic and build is minor, but makes all the difference on my end. Have any questions about the FR40 update? Drop me a comment.

I had the great joy of hosting two my favorite nomads @meowhikes and @grassfed_ at my house so that they could both make their own custom Red Paw Packs!
Cara made an extra stylish and bright Coloring Book Front Range 40L pack with some dope custom features, including a removable padded hipbelt and specially shaped straps designed to fit her just right. Weight: 16 oz (18.1 oz with HB)
Jonathan made a fast-pack of his own design, the “Smurf Pack”, and utilized the blue 2.93 oz DCF. Weight: 11.5 oz

Overall, I was really impressed how well they were able to construct their bags with only having a little sewing experience before. Both of these bags came out looking professionally done. Seriously.
Most importantly, these two are great friends. And it was an awesome experience to teach them my passion: making gear.
We had a ton of fun during the process, and even filmed some video on the construction process. So look forward to a video in the future.
Be sure to give these two a follow as they go on some epic adventures this summer, including the Colorado Trail!
