Description:

Volume: 3,800+ This is essentially a Subpop (cord drawstring compression system) that is broadened enough at the upper half to carry a bear cannister horizonally with a bit more room than the Chasm - horizontally is more effective. The pack bag then tapers back down at the bottom to the smaller 0-Sarc size. Windsauks actually have larger bottoms, the same as the Super Sarc +1"( UnLtd S-Sarc ).

The Popcan can carry a bear cannister horizontally in it's upper half like the Chasm - but with some room to spare. Having extra room means the bag is less likely to wear when rubbed against objects. The pack in these pics actually has a Bear Vault cannister at the top. Kangaroo pocket has drawstring on its inside. Hardware is Duraflex Stealth. Compression cords are not attached and not neccessary for pack function.

A S-Sarc can already carry a cannister horizontally throughout it's length but is larger at the bottom than the Popcan.

Base price custom Popcan/Subpop style - $459.00 with water bottle pockets, roll top, and summit flap

The Vzip:

The Vzip version of the Popcan is shown below. The Vzip can be applied to any of the packs just like all of our features. The Vzip is made using YKK reversed and protected 'Uretex' zip, a new water-resistant syle zipper by YKK. The threads that hold the zipper together are covered by a layer of tough urethane and the working 'coil' of the zip is on the underside, protected from abrasion.

The Vzip differential can be customized for individual needs. A pack large enough for an Expedition Bearicade bear cannister for example must have a 48" circumference in the upper 1/2 or 1/3 of the pack. It could then zip back down to a S-Sarc size for example of 42" and still carry normal cannisters. It could also be made to zip to below 40".
