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.

nce (don't know how that translates into cubic whatever). Rounded off it's 10,000 cubic inches - large but possibly not insurmmountable. Most drybags with pack-straps are not that large diameter. That's only 19" diameter. Surely there's a dry bag / duffel bag adaptable to harness that would acommodate his load. But, then, since he's lugging a BOAT, why not just a harness that fits the folded kayak? Does it really need to be enclosed? Isn't "contained" enough? Pete H -- Freedom is participation in power.

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 |
