MYOG 35L Ultralight Packs Version 4 - Chilly Bin Hikes

In this video I discuss what happened to V2 of my MYOG packs, V3, and now the making of the latest version V4. The design of each of these packs ahs built on the previous, but V4 comes with. a full redesign of the pattern, slightly increased volume, new strap design and amazing fabric.
The "colouring book" pack comes in at 310g (10.9oz) + 100g (3.5oz) for the removable hip belt. The dragon scales pack is 360g (12.7oz).
I got the fabric and hardware for these packs from Ripstop by the Roll. You can check them out here: bit.ly/3v42LVl (affiliate link)

Congratulations on your new business venture! You are super talented. I am in love with that print you used as well and the design. Isn't it the best feeling to create something like that on your own. You know what is needed by your own personal experience and are able to fine tune the perfect pack. Making them out of fun colors/prints will be a hit I'm sure. Good luck! And congratulations to you and Raden! 💝

I like the new design and the prints are killer. Hope some stickers or patches of the new logo are in the works. Love to have one! Happy tramping!

[@ChillyBinHikes]

I could make the patches available - I have about 1000 of them so I can spare a few!

Thanks for your support! I love the patterns on the fabric too - it's so fun to have bright coloured gear in the outdoors.

I have enjoyed watching your progression (I also make my own backpacking gear). I would suggest you use some webbing to on the outside of the shoulder straps; a lot of hikers like to attach gear to their shoulder straps. You make good gear so your business should be inundated with discerning customers.

[@ChillyBinHikes]

Thanks for watching. At this stage I choose to make gear the way I prefer to use it (which has been the logic for all my gear choices so far). Saying that, webbing on the straps may come one day if I acquire a mode grunty sewing machine 😀. Business is going great though - I can't keep up with the demand I have for quilts!

Nice work, how is the hipbelt attached to the pack?

[@ChillyBinHikes]

There is a sleeve across the pack which the hip belt threads through, then 4 mini ladder locks attach the hip belt to the pack. I've found this to be sturdy, and provide some load transfer to the hip belt (obviously limited as there is no frame)
