35" Tall Backpack with 60" Circumference?
Does anyone know of a giant backpack for my inflatable Sea Eagle PaddleSki 435 catamaran-kayak? It has to be 35" tall and 60" in circumference (don't know how that translates into cubic whatever). Thanks!! |

Unless my math is off your talking about a 164,215.75cc back pack....
COnsidering that my monster duffle (REI Beast Bag) is less than a 10th of that, I don't think one exists. wrote: Does anyone know of a giant backpack for my inflatable Sea Eagle PaddleSki 435 catamaran-kayak?

COnsidering that my monster duffle (REI Beast Bag) is less than a 10th of that, I don't think one exists. You may wish to check your math. I got ~10032 cubic inches. Note that he gives circumference, not diameter. Take that to diameter by dividing by PI, then divide by two. Pi*R^2 gives you area, times the height for the volume. The formula could also be reduced. Large, but not completely out of scale with various expedition backpacks in the 8-9000 ci range, a few even larger. A portage bag made for canoeing might be a better choice as they come a bit larger, and more forgiving of specific size requirements. Not sure what sort of frame or other hard pieces are restricting the dimensions. Happy trails, Gary (net.yogi.bear) -- At the 51st percentile of ursine intelligence Gary D.

Do you think the 7,000 cu. in. Granite Gear Cirrus Access FZ will do? Expensive, though, just to tote a boat! =\ Gary S. wrote: SNIP Large, but not completely out of scale with various expedition backpacks in the 8-9000 ci range, a few even larger.

Your math is close enough for the present problem. But does it really need to be contained? In a sack of some sort? Why not a harness and or mesh containement w/ shoulder straps or a tumpline? After all, it's a boat, not clothing, food or a sleeping bag. Pete H -- Freedom is participation in power. Cicero |

Don't use the Pelican box attachment, just buy some long straps of your own. A friend of mine carries his Sotak kayak sideways, and that's about 100" in circumference, the way he carries it. If the OP is taking this through the airline travel process, it would be important to have an enclosed bag to prevent damage from the luggage handling equipment.
