We are offering 2 new products to our line up. A 30L cuben fiber pack-liner for $29.95 and several sized (4x6,5x8,6x9,8x12,9x15) cuben fiber rolltop dry bags starting at $9.95. This is introductory sale and prices like this won't last forever.

All of our dry bags are 100% bonded with no sewing or seam tape to leak. We used a heavier film based cuben fiber to guarantee a durable leak free drybag. Even though we used a heavier weight material they are still much lighter then comparable silicone coated nylon dry bags.

We have a very limited supply (6 for each size) so please act fast before they sell out. We currently only have them in black but should add a few more colors soon.

On top of that we are offering a 10% off discount that can be used store-wide. At checkout you will need to enter BPLSummer2010 for to receive the discount. (Coupon Code Ends June 15, 2010)

As always free shipping on orders over $50.00

Rolltop Dry Bags




Rolltop Packliner

Wow I've never seen black cuben before. That's looking sharp. Nice prices as well. Too bad I stocked up on the GraniteGear uber-expensive ones.

I have a black cuben fiber quilt, but it's not nearly that dark. I think that dark black looks pretty sweet. Nice stuff on the site too. I may have to place an unplanned order.

The black cuben is very "mysterious" looking haha. The color is dark because the material is a heavier version then most people are use to seeing. I built a few dry bags out of the CT1K.08 a while back and they haven't lasted as well as I would of liked. I never realized dry bags and stuff sacks were subjected to so much abrasion and puncture. I didn't want to offer a product that you had to "use at your own risk". So I built something that would be durable and leak free, yet be lighter in weight then Silnylon. These seem to be fit the bill quite nicely.

What sort of internal volumes do they have?

Got mine and they look great.
Thanks!

I saw those, but those are areas (length x width), and don't tell me how much they can fit, unless they're for map storage.

For example, Granite Gear CTF3 drysacks are described as 7 Liter: - 4.5" x 17" x 17".

The bags are actually 2" longer then stated to allow for rolling.

4x6 .5 Liter (camera and gps fits perfectly)
5x8 1 Liter
6x9 2 Liter
8x12 4 Liter
9x15 6 Liter

I filled them so you could roll them once with water then measured. I figure you can't more exact then that.

guesses size wise for a light (16 oz) down quilt? trying to reduce volume as much as possible

tia

I would think the 8"x12" would work perfectly. I don't own a quilt since I am still "old school" and use a bag

The 4 liter should work for your quilt depending on the internal volume after the rolltop is closed. It will be a little tight, but should work.

Rolltop bags also work for compression sacks so if its a little bit big you can just roll it down and compress your items.

thanks- ordered a 8x12 (along w/ a 4x6, 5x8 and 6x9 :) )

haha thanks for your order!

Thanks for the BPL offer, Lawson. When I ordered my sacks, your site said the pack liner would ship in a week (back ordered). Do you see any possible delays beyond that?

Lawson:

Do you do custom orders? Thinking about a bigger liner to house 'everything' inside my Mountainsmith Ghost backpack -- say 30" x 18" x 14". If so, can you please PM me about est. cost and weight? Thanks.

The only delay is the my lack of material. I already have more material on the way so once it arrives I will build them and have them ready to ship the following day.

My focus is standard items but I will do custom orders. I recently built Doug Ide a 4 season cuben tarp.

I actually plan to build another 2 packliner sizes. I was thinking a 60 liter and a 90 liter. Would those interest you Ben?

pm me when u got it

got mine today- they look great!

the 8x12 was a very tight fit for my quilt, but it did fit- exactly what I was looking for :)

thanks

dry bags are out of stock.

More material should be coming in today. If that happens then new stock will be available in the next day or so.

Thanks,
Lawson

We have more drybags and packliners in stock. The price will go up after the sale ends on June 15 so act fast.

Wanted to give my initial thoughts after receiving the 30L cuben pack liner.

Weight = 2 oz

Black cuben fiber, seemed quite sturdy to me. I don't have any other cuben items to compare it too but it was thicker than I expected.

Seams are taped and the construction looks very solid.

I was not sure if 30L would be large enough as my pack is larger. However, I think the size is just right. I can fit my sleeping bag, all my clothes, my homemade net tent and my ditty bag with all the little miscellaneous items with some room to spare.

I cannot fit my tarp, cooking gear or food bag but I am not really worried about keeping these dry.

I filled the bag with air, closed the top and squeezed, air did leak out very slowly. I think that it would not keep things dry if completely submerged for very long but for rain or an accidental fall into a river I think it will perform well.

My overall impression is positive and I look forward to some good wet weather to try it out.

Hey Adam,

Thanks for your feedback!

I assure that these packliners and dry bags are water-tight. Please fill it with some clothes and submerge it for a while. If your drybag leaks water please return it since these drybags are designed to be 100% water tight.

Dry bags in generally are not designed to be 100% air tight since a water molecule is thousands of times bigger then an air molecule. It's the reason breathable laminates like Gore-Tex and eVent work.

Lawson, do you expect to have the pack liners in any color other than black at the reduced price?

A whole variety of colors will be available in the future and I hope to have them available in the next month or so but I can't guarantee anything. Prices after the sale ends will have to go up but I plan to keep them as affordable as possible.

What colors would you like to see????

Edited by Mountainfitter on 06/05/2010 17:17:39 MDT.

A green or brown would be great.

White, or something else light/bright, like yellow or orange--makes it easier for me to see the contents.

How about some standard Grey? You can't get more see through then that.

Actually, I would be interested in the standard gray, also. I don't know why I didn't think of it.

Attempted to order 2 of the pack liners but there is only one left. Will more be available prior to the 15th?

Edited by GreatHairyBeast on 06/06/2010 10:54:40 MDT.

There is 1 packliner left thats built. I think I have enough material to build another 10 but I need to wait and see. I will add them to my inventory sometime tonight if I have enough material left over.

I have been getting some request for other colors. I will probably start off with the Standard Grey. I will start working on those at the end of the week in hopes to have them ready before the sale ends on June 15th..

I had a report there was a Zip Code problem with placing an order on my site. I was messing with things last night and must of clicked something. Its all fixed now so if you tried to place an order but it wouldn't let you please try again.

I have had some International requests. We ship worldwide for $15.00. The price is good as long as fits in USPS priority mail flat rate envelope.

Thanks,
Lawson

Edited by Mountainfitter on 06/06/2010 14:55:52 MDT.

Thanks, I'll check back later tonight. I'll order a couple of liners if available.

I have 6 more black 30L packliners and 3 more black 9x15 drybags in stock.


After this I will be selling 18 standard grey 30L packliners and 9 60L standard grey packliners.

What happened to the tarp tensioners?

Lawson...thanks for the Update... I just ordered one :)

Do you know how long it takes to ship...I am hitting the trail next week and was not sure how long it takes. It's always fun to have new stuff for people to ooogle

Usually we ship the same day but last week I was really sick so orders took longer to ship then normal. I had someone helping me out but they were not that productive so things got a bit out of whack. I am feeling much better now so orders are now shipping like normal which is same day to next day at the latest.

The tarp tensioner are out of stock. I ran out of shock cord last week when I was sick. I have more shock cord coming so they should be for sale again soon.

Mountainfitter is now a manufacturer only and will no longer be retailing other companies gear. I have tons of gear that will be coming out in the next month or so and will be offering it to BPL members on sale first.

Great - We can't wait to see them!

Today is the last day of the BPLSummer2010 10% Coupon Code Sale. We have a few packliners and drybags left in stock.

Still only in black?

Could I use the pack liner as a gigantic bear bag? For example, could I attach a line to it and expect it to support 20-25 pounds of food hanging overnight?

I currently have an MLD Pro Bear Bag system. It works really well but it was completely stuffed when we put all the food and snacks for four of us in it on our first night out. Something bigger, like your pack liner, would be great.

Just order a packliner and drybags with discount.
Thanks Lawson.

And please let me know at once when you restock .75 black cuben~


Vincent

I have standard gray material in stock and I am working on building the bags as I speak. They should be available in the next week or so. The price will have to be increased so if you want a good price on a black cuben packliner tonight is the night to pull the trigger. I will probably build the standard gray color cuben bags for a while and add two more colors depending on demand.

Possible colors:
Black
Blue
Green
Red

Kevin I have never weight tested it but as long as the buckle didn't un-clip it should be fine. I will have a 12"x20" bag coming out soon that might be better sized for your application.

Website doesn't seem to be working correctly. None of the categories show up, so the only things that can be viewed are the 8 products on the front page.

Due to low margins, high shipping costs and being tired of selling Asian made gear Mountainfitter is now a manufacturer only. For the last 6 months I have been reducing my inventory and only have a few things left. I will put the remainder of the gear up tonight and tomorrow. The prices will be so good a sale isn't needed.

Well hopefully you continue to sell to the public as a manufacturer. You've got some neat product ideas going.

Lawson... I would also be very interested in a 12x20 sac that could be used as a Bear Bag since that matches the size of the large OP sack. I would not feel comfortable using the pack liner for that..I do not think the clip is designed to be load bearing. I wonder if Cuben Fiber would absorb less food ordors than silnylon??

The 2 smaller bags I ordered first are PERFECT. The 4x6 has become my permanent Iphone bag for all my outdoor activities. The 6x9 is replacing my silnylon ditty bag. My packliner should arrive today

Those of you who purchased bags from me did you like the weight of the material. If not would you like to see a lighter or heavier cuben fiber used???



Side Note: I will always sell to the public but down the road I might offer some of my products for wholesale.

I would be interested in a lighter version (even though I haven't seen them in person yet - but I did place an order ;).....especially in the smaller ones.

Edited by biointegra on 06/19/2010 00:21:25 MDT.

I received my 8" x 12", 9" x 15", and pack liner last week. I'm very impressed with the quality of workmanship and the weights. Mine actually weighed less on my kitchen scale than Lawson's stated weights. The pack liner came in at 1.6 oz., vs. the stated 2.0 oz. Sweet. By the way, the black isn't all that black--more of a dark silver-gray, depending on how the light strikes it.

For fun, I filled up the 8" x 12" bag with water and hung it up outside. It didn't leak a drop in over an hour. I'm a little nervous about the strength of the small buckle, however, and I like the beefier buckle of the pack liner (which is easier to work with, and with little additional weight).

As to using these bags for food hanging, I don't know. A stronger buckle would allow that I think, but I'd worry about critters breeching the material, strong as it is. I'm thinking that placing the bag inside an Ursack or Outsak would work nicely. A 12" x 20" bag would probably be perfect for this.

My 30 L. bag didn't quite hold all my stuff, and didn't match the interior volume of my Jam 2. I think a 45 L. bag would do the trick. Or you could use several of these bags, of different sizes for different things.

All in all, I think Lawson has come up with a very high quality product here, and it was a great gesture for him to offer the BPLers a nice discount.
