Cold Cold World customization
Posted: Fri Jan 08, 2016 5:56 pm
I've decided to order a CCW Chaos. I know you can customize parts of it, but I'm not sure what exactly is available, so I'm reaching out to the SP sages: which customization options would you recommend? My use would be strictly alpine; no skiing or backcountry hiking trips.
- Do people like the crampon pocket? I'm used to just strapping crampons to the outside and have never had a problem with that, so I wonder if the pocket is necessary/useful?
- From what I've read, Randy makes the shoulder strap adjustment "inverted", i.e. you have to pull up to tighten. I think I'd prefer the traditional pull down but if anyone has opinions supporting the inverted way, please share.
- Anything else I should know about or consider?
Thanks.
