Re: [jtholmes] STASHBAGS for BASE GEAR/SKYDIVING GEAR
The fly your body bag is good, tough and all, but doesn't fold down as nice as the typical ones.
However they do tend to load up more vertically and not as 'fat' which makes it easier climbing and all.
However since they are longer and skinnier if you jump a lot of camera gear/mounts, body armour, etc you have to pack them well to make it all fit... and after you jump, it's a little more difficult to get it all back in.
They hold up much better in Moab, where I tend to drag my stash bag over every rock I crawl by or get stuck under....
I shredded 2 apex bags in the last couple years, mostly from Moab type of stuff and have moved on to the fly your body ones.
I don't put the fly your body stashbag in my backpad though due to it's bulk.... it's either fat fat fat in my cargo pocket where I can grab it out and start stuffing, or for terminal I just wear it under my wingsuit.
I'd buy another 2 after I destroy these. Good price, good quality. I'm willing to trade bulk for toughness....
