Paradox Evo Pack Combo with Day Talon/1800 Day Talon ?

[whisky_kilo]

I am ready to pull the trigger on a Paradox Evolution Combo with 4800 ci Roll Top + Base Talon (all in MultiCam), but what I would love to purchase (if possible) is a combo that includes a Day Talon instead of the standard Base Talon. Ideally, I would always use a Day Talon rather than a Base Talon with a paradox pack in all scenarios. So it seems a bit of a waste to have to purchase a paradox pack with a standard Base Talon and also have to purchase a separate Day Talon.

I've been searching the forum to see if anyone else is in the same conundrum I find myself, but no luck.

Could this be a possible purchase option going forward???

If I am the only person requesting this then I fully understand that I'm in the minority here and I'll just bite the bullet and order a separate Day Talon (and have the base talon collect dust in the closet) but I would really appreciate the option of being able to order the Day Talon with my Paradox Evolution.

Thanks for listening guys!

It will be an option with the new day talon. What we need to finalize is pricing on the new day talon. The new day talon is pretty slick IMO and has better operability as a system.

Realize Multi Cam is somewhat limited availability and has longer lead times because of it

Thanks

Looking forward to these new Day Talons!

Great to hear the Day Talon will be available as an option in place of the Base Talon. Many thanks!

The Day Talon is available for purchase. There are photos of a Red one on the site. It is actually a pretty impressive little pack, I could do a quick fair weather overnight or maybe two with it's compression system. The lid is removable and can be used on your main pack bag. The lid provides just enough access to quickly needed gear, or a place to stash your wallet and keys when you leave the trailhead. Sizing, it's a tweener between the 1000 and 1800, but honestly, it achieves both. The added compression can stash a small sleeping pad, or a jacket or two. The compression also makes it a bit smaller when needed.

Weights of the Red VX07 (I expect VX21 and X33 to be an ounce heavier) is 10 ounces for the pack, and 2 ounces for the lid. The Roll top has a velcro closure, so it can be even overstuffed a bit. As a volume example, I actually loaded it with a 20 degree down quilt, a fleece, and a First Lite Uncompahgre puffy, and added a small air pad on the compression and some essentials in the lid.

As part of this, we changed combo's slightly. In fact, we are not including a Talon in the combo, so the price has been lowered and you choose your Talon and add that to the cart as well. It gets to complicated creating every possible combination. For example, the 4800 Roll Top and Base Talon Combo is now just a suspension and pack bag combo, with Talons purchased separately.

Let me know if you have any questions.
