    Gossamer Gear G4 DIY Pack

    15474.jpg15476.jpg
    Never thought I'd say this, but I'm selling my G4 DIY Pack, it is too heavy! I have created a lighter pack (10.1 oz), so my G4 weighing in at 17.1 oz is going on the block.

    The G4 is developed with all the pattern pieces straight from the kit, I have added a couple enhancements here and there, such as sternum strap, paracord loops for tie-out items, daisy chain loops on the hip belt sides for additional pockets or containers, and center mesh pocket loop for keeping pocket tame. I have less than 40 miles total on the pack, nothing at all wrong with it, I am just gravitating to more defined-purpose gear. I also have a habit of fine tuning my gear to the point where I have way too many of each, and the storage space is filling up. Sit pad not included, I now am using 4 panels worth of Z-Lite pad, fits perfect.

    $60 will get it shipped here in CONUS, paypal only per forum rules apply.

    Not sure how it would do going to Taiwan or what you're shipping cost would be. Are you near Taipei? Sewing shop next to the Lai Lai Sheraton would sew it cheaper than it would cost to send....

    I believe it is 24" hip point to shoulder top, I have 20" pad pockets in back, 3" below to bottom of pack, about 1" above to strap exit. I am 5'10", good fit lengthwise. Waist belt, I am 36" waist, I left a little length on the belt for thicker clothing... should do good to at least 40". Even had some extended belt elastic to manage extra length. This is all from memory, pack is at the house and can officially measure when I return.
