Well, I just dumped some money on an Arc'tyrex 50L bag. I've been needing to replace the Osprey Atmos 50L that I gave away a while ago, and also wanted to upgrade to something extremely durable. When I saw a sale on the Arc'tyrex bags, I just couldn't pass it up.
So here's the rub.
Finding hook & loop stuff to stash in it and organize my kit is a pain in the doopa. LBX has their line of stuff, which is great and all, but I don't want to spend 50% the cost of my pack outfitting the interior of it! Besides LBX and BFG's Dapper series, I'm having a hard time finding stuff to organize the interior. The last thread that I saw about this (via search) was rather old, and I'm hoping that some new players have entered this market.
What I have found so far:
LBX - weirdly the only source for 3"+ depth pouches...
BFG - Dapper series has some decent options, but are very spendy.
Maxpedition - they make a few 500d hook & loop pouches, but I can only find them in coyote/tan/FDE.
Overland Gear - I guess they are a travel company? They make a few hook & look inserts with both mesh and vinyl facing. Cheap, too.
Condor Outdoor - Ahh, Condor. The china-made bottom of the barrel. That said, I can get two (2!) 8 x 4.5 x 2" for ~$15. Less than half what I can find elsewhere!
SOE - they have two mesh pouches, and are priced a bit over the competition but use 1000d and, well, its SOE gear...
As of right now, I'm struggling to find a reason to not just get 6 or 8 crappy Condor pouches. The pack will be used for international travel, and not necessarily over the mountains and through the woods to a firefight we go.
Anyone have some ideas or sources?
