The Story of the Packa ![]() ![]() |
||
Buy A Packa!The regular 33 Denier Sil/Pu coated nylon Packa is available in five sizes: Small/Medium/Large and MediumX/LargeX. The Packa is intentionally made very large, even the smalls will fit me at 6ft 195 lbs. Bigger means more protection, and more air circulation underneath. The current Medium is my former "one size fits all" size. I tried to hit the middle of the road with the Medium to accomodate "most" long distance hikers. The sleeve length is 32 inches from hood seam to the end of the sleeve on the Medium, 2 inches shorter for the Small and 2 inches longer for the Large. The length of the jacket from bottom of the hood along the front zipper to the bottom of the jacket is 36 inches for the Medium and again 2 inches shorter for the Small and 2 inches longer for the Large. Draw strings on the bottom hem and sleeves allow smaller hikers to cinch the Packa down and adjust the fit. The Small/Medium/Large Packas have the same packcover size at around 4000 ci. The MediumX and LargeX sizes have the same jacket size as the regular Packa, but have slightly larger packcovers-- up to about 5000 ci. The nylon Packas are available in 3 colors: Charcoal, Olive Green, and Gray. The price for the nylon Packa is $110 + $5 shipping and handling. |

The eVent Packa weighs about 16oz. for the Medium--a couple ounces less for the Small and a couple ounces more for the Large. Only the jacket part is made with eVent material--the packcover part is the 33D nylon fabric used in the regular Packa. The eVent Packa only comes in Red for the jacket and gray for the packcover. The cost for the eVent Packa is $200 + $10 shipping for the US and $35 shipping for International orders Many thanks to my friends at Big Agnes for helping me locate an excellent manufacturer.

If you buy a Packa and it is not what you expected, or it does not fit you or your pack, you can return it for a full refund. However, you really need to hike with a Packa in the rain to truly appreciate it. So, I offer a 2180 mile waranty. If your Packa fails in any way, or if you just don't like it, I will fix it, replace it, or refund your money, prior to 2180 miles hiked with the Packa. |
