Looking for Material

Post by petemaz »

Wonder if anyone can help, I'm looking for material to make a minimalist crampon bag ahead of winter. Something durable enough to protect my pack from the points, but easy enough to use with a household sewing machine? Any idea what and if possible where I could get this from?
Many thanks 👍

A canvas gaiter does the job nicely :smile:.

I've used Tyvek to make a crampon pouch. It was an offcut that i had lying about. It's cheap, light and relatively durable, It's done 3 winter seasons so far and is still going strong
