I want to make sure you're satisfied with your Packa and that it provides you with many miles of enjoyment along the trail. I am a one person company.

TRADES: I am a hiker, and as such, always looking to upgrade my gear. I welcome trade offers. Looking for tents, tarps, and a new Exos. I want high end gear.
SALE!! 15d silicone coated nylon (silnylon) with a waterproofness rating of 2000 HH. It comes in gray only. This a discontinued fabric for now, but will be back in the future. Only mediumx, large, and largex are available. mediumx 15d: 10 oz large 15d: 10 oz largex 15d: 10.50z Price: $98.00 + shipping. The 15d silnylon fabric does not have sealed seams. The 15d silnylon Packas are manufactured with a poly cotton thread which swells when wet to close the needle holes and minimize leaking. I tested the 15d sample extensively and was satisfied with how the seams performed. I did get some leakage through seams in a storm, but it was very minimal. Your mileage may vary. Silnylon tent manufacturers recommend a manual seam sealing with a silicone based sealant and you can certainly do this to a Packa too. It is a tedious process that usually takes me a few days to complete. Unlike a tent with long straight seams, the Packa has many curved seams. If you try to do too much at once, the Packa will flop around and you will end up with a big mess. To manually seam seal a Packa, you lay out a stretch of seam typically about 12 to 18 inches long, apply a thin line of sealant to the needle holes, and lightly push it into the holes with your finger. Let this dry for for at least 2 or 3 hours before moving to the next segment of seam. Back when I used to manually seam seal quite a bit I would do a segment in the morning, a segment when I got home from work, and a segment right before I went to bed. That's why it can take a couple days to do it properly without making a big mess. |
