Backpack no 2


Update:

Backpack NoName stripped about 1,500 grams is now 480 grams
Hip belt is now 184 grams
Waterproof bag home made about 60 liters weighs 121 grams

Total 785 grams

I ordered carbonfiber tubes from Skåne Drakar & hobby will see if the tubes will hold.

Carbonfiber is just wonderful! 45 grams for two pc 10mm tubes 60 cm long instead of alu-rails of 120 grams each. Of course it tastes so it cost $ 25 for two including shipping.

Backpack no 1

Made in 2008

Waterproof 65-liter light backpack (DIY)

Backpack 674 grams (240 grams is 2 pc aluminum rails) + hip belt 183 grams + home made waterproof bag 121 grams = 978 grams .

Have tried the prototype a week at Kebnekaise (The highest mountin in Sweden), starting at 15 kg (all in the bag) worked great.

Cost about $ 20 for the backpack (2200gram) in a sports store that always have 50% because they are closing (for 10 year´s now) + $ 30 in the fabric from shelby.fi.
Then I saved the function with the straps on the sides, I can easily hang on a couple of side pockets when necessary (which I not found yet)
