LBP 35 ! 35 inches of circumference still gives some people plenty of room for some of their stuff!

Click images for blow-ups and be sure to scroll the entire page.........See Pack Volumes - Go Figure! The cross sectional surface area of a 35" circumference pack is 97 square inches. This pack is 23" tall........ 23" x 97" = 2231 cubic inches. It can still expand upward a maximum of 11".......(11+23) x 97 = 3298 cubic inches. Figuring volumes this way is not neccessarily the actual volume but is a good way to compare the volumes of the packs of one brand with another, since volume measuring methods vary among manufacturers.

As shown, this one is 2200 cuin expandable to 3000+. Base Q-Bayo is standard. The P&G bayonets are an option. Starting with the 3rd photo, the bayonets are actually being used to stiffen the roll top fabric.

In the first 2 photos the bayonets and bayonet straps have been removed completely. The first 2 photos show the single center roll top strap rather than the double side clip version in the later photos. Regular size Crest belt pouches are also shown.
