Well, it is all finished now, I was going back and forth on some lid ideas but went fairly basic. Got the split triglides in place, added a couple hooks to hang a bladder inside, added a couple tabs to the bottom of the pack to route straps and swapped zipper pulls for cordage although these...
I have a gen 2 duplex so dont have the multiple tab loops to work with. You could try a setup similar to hill people gear though and it should give you better access. At least if it is the same still as years ago. They had a large flap that hangs down between the lifters with a tab loop on...

I really wonder how it will be come fall. Just hoping it will keep improving.
I am thinking...
Just replied to your PM, i like mine quite a bit so far in limited use. I went back and forth on the 1.5 and the 2 man for a while. Ended up with the 2 man and dont regret that as I sometime take one of my kids. Kind of suprised more people dont have them as the quality is there and weight is...
