Pony kegs, yes. Q Barrels no! Might fit, have packed 11 inch diameters, but would over-stress the pack construction. Better off with a true freighter frame, or convert an old frame.

Designed to use with bear canisters they accommodate a BV500 BV 450 or a combination.
Have a small frame with women's harness, and regular men's harness, easily detached which GG will (or used to) exchange.


If interested E-Mail me.

That is my last surviving WTex Pneumo bag. Before compression sacks became popular I used them this way, stuff in a sleeping bag and sit on it to get the air out! Ends up a skinny backpack sized layer about 3/4 inch thick, did the same with clothes.

Thanks, I’ve had success with a granite gear vapor flatbed in the past. Just seeing if there are better options out there.

Just gotta comment on the bright orange WXtex bag; love em! My big one finally blew a seal last summer after years of service.
