For Sale: Custom Mchale Pack

[ASmith]

Like New couple year old custom made Mchale Alpine with back pocket, pad/tent pouch, extension top, water bottle/ski holders, Removable Bayonets to convert from full size to smaller (2 packs in one). By-Pass thru Harness, all of the bells and whistles. Size would be around 75 without extension, waist up to 30" and will fit from a 15 1/2 to 18" back (Small modifiction made allows for size adjustibility). Would fit best a small to medium person 5'4 - 5"10 up to 150 pounds. You can get different sized waist belts to the inch from Dan. Dan Mchale's packs are the best fitting and most comfortable pack in existance. Once you use one you will never use any others even for free, I guarantee it! Everyone I know who has tried one will assest to that and Dan is great to work with and stands behind his stuff. Cost $600 plus to have made.

Not a criticism, but it would help if some sizing information was posted.

 

Waist belt?

 

Back height?

 

Here's a good example of how to measure back height, with no comment on the vendor being good or bad.

Another example:

Any idea on weight of the pack empty?

 

Volume of the pack? Liters, or how many milk cartons or whatever? (comparable to how others measure, since McHale uses a different approach to measuring volume).

 

Material?

This changed a lot over the years from a heavy Cordura to more Spectra-entwined fabrics.

 

Year made?

This affects whether it has things like the Bypass Shoulder Harness.
