A digital sewing pattern for a classic panel loading daypack, designed by Stitchback Gear. The CP is inspired by the packs of the late 1970s, back when outdoor gear was simple and sturdy, and it makes a great do-it-all daypack for hiking, rock climbing, travel, or just around town. A fairly straightforward project, good for anyone with some sewing experience. The design is streamlined: a main compartment with a single slip pocket inside the zippered front, upper and lower compression straps, and an internal sleeve for a foam frame sheet that doubles as a hydration pocket. At roughly 20 litres it's sized for long day trips. Built in heavy duty materials like 1200d Cordura re/cor or EPX200 it will last for years. Built in UltraGrid instead, it becomes a fast and light pack for peak bagging. We recommend buying the pattern before ordering materials, so you understand the project and its requirements before you commit to fabric. Stitchback Gear's CAD drafted patterns give you a jump start on your next MYOG project. Build it as drawn, or use it as a launching point and customise it to fit.
