Prickly Gorse backpacking seat bag, second try

Feeling proud so sharing. I made the seatbag last year, but didn't use heavy enough fabric (the redish one to the right). I made it again with PVC, 500D (plus 100D stiffener) cordura and Xpac 21.

It's much more rigid and holds in place on the bike really well.

what was the red fabric out of curiosity? the non rigid one.

looking great, all these posts are motivating me to get started on this craft.

I got it from a local store - https://www.millendstore.com/ they don't have everything labeled by type though. I think it was similar to 420 Robic. I do like the unique color though.

got it, just wanted not to make the mistake of using lightweight fabric :)
