Customize
All custom pack orders will require a
non-refundable deposit of $50. Because we are a micro-cottage
industry, there can be a backlog in producing custom orders,
although we will work with your time constraints to fulfill
your order in the shortest time possible.
Color
We only stock rolls of cordura the two
colors shown, "Ithilen" Green and "Emyn-Muil" Brown, and
normally only make the Jensens and Giants in their signature
color. We can swap the colors, if you desire, and there is no
extra charge, but as in all custom work a deposit will be
required.
We can also make a pack in your choice of
color, depending on availability. There are typically about
25+ manufactured colors to choose from. Because we cannot buy
small quantities of fabric at wholesale, this will add $35 to
the cost of the pack.
Corduroy
The standard corduroy is a khaki, medium
wale blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester. Although we prefer
to use a blend closer to 50-50, those are not currently
available in a traditional corduroy. We can now build packs
with a pinwale blend of 50% polyester, 39% rayon, 11%
olefin . This modern blend will not absorb water.
Until longevity testing is done it is only available on a
special basis. It adds $20 to the cost of the pack! There is
also a small quantity of dark olive corduroy available in some
sizes.
Rainliner/ Raincover
The rainliner is made from urethane
coated ripstop nylon, and is attached to the inside of the
pack with velcro. The rainliner not only adds a second layer
of coated material to the weather-proofness of your pack, but
also protects the coating on the cordura from continued use
and abrasion from gear. So by using a rainliner you extend the
useful life of the original coatings. The rainliner is
inexpensive to replace, should it become worn out, and because
of the unique design and loading system of The Jensen Pack™ it
is not an encumberance to accessing your gear.
If you desire a liner, we need to add the
velcro during the construction of the pack. It cannot be added
at a later time. -Rainliner option add $30
Extra Rugged Version (ERV)
This is the way I build all my personal
packs: Instead of a single layer of cordura, I add in extra
layers of various coated fabrics at critical points in the
pack. Those locations are: The entire lower compartment and
the area of the pack above the corduroy. This added water
protection is extremely valuable if you plan on using the pack
in wet climates for prolonged periods. Combined with the
rainliner, it makes for a very weatherproof pack. All ERV
packs will be fitted with snaps, so that pockets may be added
at a later date. ERV's also come with 1/4" lacing pre-tied to
all zipper sliders on the pack. Barbell leather is also
beefier. Waxed "double shoulder" is used for greater
longevity. By popular request, we are now adding a piece of
"crossgrain ribbon" to the inside of the lower zipper. This
helps to protect your sleeping bag from being snagged by the
zipper.
-ERV option add $25
-ERV plus rainliner add $50
Sternum Strap
This add on item can be ordered at any
time since it slips over the shoulder straps. It uses an
elasticized band to wrap around the shoulder strap and can be
moved up and down to find the appropriate comfort spot.
