Little Big Packs are for those that want pack bag sizes under 3,000 cubic inches that can still handle some weight, especially when you tie things on or add accessories. The pack comes in roll top mode with a full Spectra bottom. The pack also includes 2 large removable water bottle pockets. If you would rather have a hip pack top lid with a bladder holder, the spectra bottom and water pockets can be credited toward that. The packs are available in 36" circumference ( $325.00 ), 37" ($339.00), 38" ( $365.00 ), 39" ($379.00), and 40" ($395.00). Add $19.00 for a single layer summit flap (pack converts back and forth to roll top mode or the lid and roll-top strap can be used simultaneously). Add $29.00 to LBP 36 & 37 for small grid dyneema grid fabrics.

See the pack volumes page in the Secondary Menu to play with the range of volumes. The pack below is an LBP 36; 36 means it has an untapered circumference of 36" giving it a general bag volume to the top of the frame of 2,500 cu in. and close to 3,000 if filled 5" taller. According to the Volumes chart, each inch in height for this circumference is 103 cubic inches. With this pack, that even leaves 6" of empty bag to close with the roll-top strap. Add a lid and it goes over 3,000. This pack can also be customized to make it the lightest configuration possible for no extra charge. Packs include Q-Bayo but not P&G Bayonet.

Below: A full Dyneema LBP 36 - Photos soon showing more accessories attached. We are also now making our compression strap system completely removable - the straps attach at the loop-lock buckles seen in the photos - in the 4th photo 2 types of buckles can be seen. The system makes it possible for straps and buckles to be easily replaced, updated, or reversed in direction. We are also working on new accessories like tubular ski holders that easily attach with there own built in compression straps. In the final 2 photos the upper compression straps have been removed. Final photos show a zippered pouch rather than the drawstring pouch coupled with a small tent. Almost anything can be lashed to the versatile widely spaced daisy chains. The pack up tp photo # 3 weighs 2 lbs, 10 oz and can be made lighter. In photo #4 with water pockets but without the upper 4 compression straps, it weighs 2 lbs, 14 oz. It has a double Dyneema bottom. The large rear dyneema pocket weighs 5.8 oz, and the 2 layer summit lid with bladder holder underneath weighs 8 oz. For people that are fit and not over-weight, this pack can comfortably carry 40 lbs. This pack was made for someone 6'2" tall and is considered a Lg size pack. The total bag length is 35" and maximum usable volume for the bag alone is about 3500 cuin - the point being that larger packs are heavier also. The last photo shows a tent lashed horizontally to the 'vertical' daisys to show this can be done. This can create a good platform to stack other objects. Base price for the pack below with just water bottle pockets is $540.00 and $600.00 dyed gray.
