cilogear makes packs

I’ve got the following stuff for sale. Email us to buy one; first come, first served:

• 1 45L Dyneema WorkSacks in Large: First edition of these packs. $400 + S&H.
• 1 45L Dyneema WorkSacks in Small: First edition of these packs. $400 + S&H.

The exact same Dyneema pack only received 4 stars from Alpinist’s Mountain Standards Blog (apparently, mostly because bending the framesheet was a bit difficult and it was too small for the reviewer’s winter gear…he wrote: “For a summer alpine climbing pack, the Cilo Gear pack will be seen on my back for the bulk of my overnight trips...Super lightweight; endless compression options; design fits tools and crampons well; Dyneema(R) fabric is extremely durable considering its light weight.” The only real difference between this pack and the ones we make now is that the front haul loop is bartacked on rather than sewn into a seam. With the Dyneema, you’ll never notice the difference. This is the same pack used by sometime climber sometime editor Kelly Cordes, French Canadian Super Dynamo Maxime Turgeon, and the Omega Expedition in Antarctica last summer. These packs are proven bad ass. You’ll jump higher and run faster with them! The only change between these two packs and our current custom production is the construction of the front haul loop.  On these two packs, it’s double bartacked right onto the fabric of the front panel. In all current packs, it is sewn into a seam and then bartacked. In terms of strength, it doesn’t matter at all with the Dyneema.

• 2 One V2.5 45L WorkSacks in large, one in Medium. Check out the Mountain Project review for more details…$100+ S&H each.

This pack is a steal at the price. It’s got the new lid, the framesheet closure pocket, and uses the 210d Dyneema Ripstop and light grey VX21 that we weren’t able to get for a looooong time.
