Hi all. I got the chance last weekend to test a new light weight rain proof prototype bag. It weighs about half the normal weight and dispenses with the need for a pack cover!!! As always the weight to $$$$ ratio will be in affect, so expect $$$$. Barney's should be offering them in limited quantities for next fall's hunting season! This one is a pinnacle and I should be able to test the Hunter version here in the next few weeks! Enjoy!!

Bret, How did the bag hold up? Material looks a little thin. Been using the regular packs for years and they are heavy but work. Never has any issues with gear getting wet but I use stuff sacks for anything in the bag. I would love to see a ligher pack provided it will last. ****************************************************************** R.

It is a lighter fabric and will not hold up as long or to as much punishment as the other fabrics. The idea is to make an ultr light sheep hunting pack. ie. you aren't "busting brush" and beating the pack up to no end. I'm not saying it isn't tough because it is, but it isn't as tough as the others.

Hey Brett- Do you know what kind of material that it is made out of? It looks kind of like the Tyvek wrap used in home construction. And I guess they now make protective suits out of it too. Is is noisy when it gets cold? (like some plastic materials do)   | |||
