MrBrant 0 #1 December 21, 2006 Just wondering if anybody has any pictures of the new spacer foam option? I ran a search, but came up empty. The one on the RWS (UPT) website doesn't really give an overall view. Does it add much extra bulk to the rig? Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teason 0 #2 December 22, 2006 The foam on the back pad is a copy of the North face backpack design. It is two pads, one at each shoulder and a pad at the small of the back. Northface designed it for backpacks so that air can move behind the back. The pads are mesh and fairly light weight. There isn't much extra bulk (unless you are the poor sap binding the back pad) I have similar pads on a container I built for myself (not a Vectore). Didn't make it that much more comfortable and was a bitch to build. Sorry, no pics, theyshould be in Canpara soon. They do have some marketing material with really good shots so expect to see them soon. UPT just has to get their site up and running.I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

MrBrant 0 #3 December 22, 2006 makes scents - air movement is always good to keep from sweating like a pig! My container order is already in, but with the options I have, it is almost free to go with the spacer foam - I'm just trying to decide if I want it or not. (mostly bulk factor). so, I don't think i can wait for the next CanPara to make my decision! Anybody got some pics????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teason 0 #4 December 23, 2006 In the absence of phots, if you go to MEC downtown, you may find the Space foam on a backback. It looks like mesh in apperance. Some backpacks double up the foam but I believe that the vector has a single layer of 1/4 inch. I just flew back North for two weeks, I can take pic of sample I have when I can't back to deland but that'll be a while. Try to give UPT a call, I'm sure they have something they can show you. There are a few rigs around Deland with the foam and magnetic covers. p.s Get the magnetic riser covers, they are similar in look to a Racer(personal bias) and they look and function well.I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

MrBrant 0 #5 December 26, 2006 magnetic riser covers already ordered. I think I'll probably go for the foam - why not, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
