Those down pants are sweet! Are the zippers pass thru to access pant pockets inside? And are your baffles sewn through or box?

 

[j43097]

Yup, pass through zippers. The pants are on and off enough I didn't want to forget keys in pockets. I would call the baffles a hybrid. The baffle width on the shell is 4" but the lining material has 5" between seams giving it significantly more loft like a box baffle. A real "PIA" to set up but huge improvement over the typical sewn through.

Those are a couple nifty ideas! Nice work again

Every thought of doing a nalgene holster that attached to the hip belt where it comes out of the frame? Trying to figure a way of making it removable/attach to that big strip of Velcro on the kuiu belts.

I'm not very familiar with the Kuiu frames. I've only got mystery ranch. That sounds like a hell of an idea though and i think MR has a similar attachment.

I think some type of webbing would be good for a nalgene. Hip belts with molle would probably be easier to make a mount for.

May be easier but a guy starts to run out of real-estate room on the molle sections. Also a little bit of a PIA to get stuff on and off the molle.

Solid work all around!

A molle panel that mounts to the hip belt would be pretty slick, I. Know its a pain the attach/remove the accessories but then you know it's probably not coming off when you're not looking.

Very cool, love the pants! Wish I could sew that good...
