Re: Circuit customization/drawstring closure Nathan has the correct answer on the custom top closure - it works fine and has a compression strap. I can't get the roll top compression of the original Circuit to work very well. Having us... |

Re: Re: sizes that much different in Circuit v. Starlite? Two of the drawbacks of the Circuit that Martin mentioned can be ameliorated by asking for custom features. (Politely, of course.) After using a Circuit and an Ohm for about a year, I ordered a new... |
