P&G&Q DVD Alert! For customers: The Q-Bayo in the P&G&Q DVD is riveted on the underside of the frame stays, or rather the backside, but since we made the DVD have switched to putting the Q-Bayo on the top side, or face side of the stays. This can cause confusion when inserting the stays. If the stays are inserted backwards they will not conform to the back of course. Insert the stays with the Q-Bayo facing you, or with the concave side of the pelvic bend facing up - unless you have the original version. In that case, the concave side of the stay will still be facing you, but the Q-Bayo piece will be on the backside of the stay. Whew!

FULL DYNEEMA PACK FABRIC is still available and our new Full Spectra is on the way! We will be conserving the Full Dyneema though. There is no longer any such thing as a 100& full dyneema pack. We have some fun alternatives though.

We moved to Shoreline the end of 2002 and closed the Shilshole location. McHale Packs is primarily mail order now but I make appointments with customers who have already sent a deposit or are buying a pack.

We have a P.O. Box for Video payments, secure pack deposits etc: McHale Packs, PO Box 33672, Seattle WA 98133 - 0672.
