For those interested, I have designed an ultra light pack for fly fishing that weighs less than one ounce. Here's a video of it. I'd appreciate feedback on the design: http://www.backpackflyfishing.com/store/index.php/the-trico-ultra-light-fly-fishing-pack.html

Nice! Looks like you put a lot of thought into the functionality of your ultra light backpacker/fly fisher and still maintained a low weight of 0.8oz.

jason look nice. what is the weight, .8 oz isn't 55 grams. .8 is something like 23 grams and 55 grams is somewhere near 1.9 oz. darn gram counters.

Great job Jason, I have just been using a Gossamer Gear large hip belt pocket, but you have added some of the things that I needed but didn't have.
Also looks very well made.

Doh! Thanks James. I've corrected it.

i'm glad it was the lighter of the two. now i'm interested!!! well i was interested before just wanted some clarification. thank you for the quick response.

Hi James,
Yep, sorry about that. For a gear fanatic, I'm terrible with the metric system. :(

Hi Jason,

Could you please let me know how I can purchase one of your Trico Packs, Backpack Fly fishing seems to be off line.

Thanks, Jim jim_garvey@sbcglobal.net

It's too bad, as they are really nice little packs. (glad I got mine when I did.)

Kai and Jim,

I'm redesigning the Trico and so it won't be available until the new design is finalized. I will announce it on my blog www.tenkaratalk.com. Or, if you email me, I will put you on the waiting list and email you when they're ready. jmklass@gmail.com
