I made mine using X-PAC from rockywoods.com, 1/4 closed cell foam from eBay,
and cheap remnant ripstop from Joann's. 3 wide, no flare at front. The ripstop
formed a liner around the inner perimeter, and the foam was sandwiched in
between. The foam is important as it keeps things from rattling
Every bag maker I know (OK, both bag makers I know) are big into
prototyping. So, if I wanted to sew my own bag, I would plan on my first

Thanks for that link, Stephen. It's terrific, lots of good info.
I surfed through the links. It's clear that even without having sewn a

Here is my pro tip for people who want to sew packs and
Hi Anne,
Congrats on the Krampus!
Have you considered the Revelate Designs frame bag (co-branded with Surly)?
Revelate Designs may make one for the Krampus (Retail ~$160, in case you'd
rather ride than
sew):
I did look at the Revelate Designs, but they do not seem to have a
Krampus-specific frame bag. They do have bags designed for Trolls,
Ogres and Pugsleys though.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a Revelate seat bag, though. But I
was deeply unimpressed with the Revelate advice about using their
Hi Anne,
A Stephen S said, the DIY forum on bikepacking is the way to go. I've seen
multiple postings with very specific details regarding fabric, dimensions,
different bag-frame mounting techniques and the like,
Good luck and keep us posted with your progress on this.
Cheers!

The Revelate Jerry can appears to be an excellent design. Have a look
at the Krampus, though:

I'm sure that they'd be happy to share some information about bag

Note that Revelate, and others, use the Denier Diamond Ripstop for the
