New Multi Lid
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2015 2:35 pm
Hello everyone, my name is Luke and I'm the new guy around the shop. I started work just in time to help a little with the final stages of the Multi Lid design so i thought I'd share some pictures of it.
Here are some pictures of it on a 4800 unaweep:
a view of the single zipper access:
opens nice and wide; that's a Patagonia hooded down sweater stuffed in there.
There is also an internal pocket in the floor of the lid:
I took a prototype out for a day hike yesterday (finished design looks almost identical, just a little prettier). I found I like to tuck the lid under the talon when using it without a pack bag, as you can see the zipper stays usable to access the lid contents:
Kevin also mentioned a chest pouch mode so I took a few pictures to give you an idea
It attaches by buckles and webbing to the load lifter triglide on the harness and to the lower harness straps like the Gateway front pack. I'm a little guy (38" chest, 31" waist) and I can adjust it up quite snug. Should fit just about anyone:
To take off the pack you can just pop the two QR buckles on one side and leave the other two connected to leave the chest pouch attached to the pack.
All lids will ship with the hardware to use it as a chest pouch.
Lid weight is 4.5oz in VX42.
