Hi Christian, I would like to learn how you were incorrectly closing your pack. Maybe it will show something that needs to be improved in the instructions.
@@Caveworthy I would roll it down and then clip each side of the packs to the side holes and then also clipped the webbing into those. So in order to open the pack, you would need to remove both carabineers. I just took my college outing club on a through trip to Bone-norman in West Virginia (8 hours of fun), and everyone kept saying how awesome these bags are when they were ripping them through pinches. Thanks for making them!
Very informative video! Which size Swaygo pack would you recommend? I am a novice and not doing any vertical (at least not yet), but of course the abandoned mine near me where I will be practicing/getting used to my gear has anywhere from 1-5 feet of water, and the mud is really sticky and abrasive. I don't want to destroy my hiking day pack! Which size Swaygo do you use (just curious)? Thanks!
I just got my pit pack, but it seems any time I see videos with people using Swaygo packs and they all seem to be Sinks. Also does anyone add actual grommets to those side adjustment holes? That seems like those could rip pretty easy
I have all 3 sizes but rarely need the largest one. The material is very strong. Adding a grommet wouldn’t actually make them stronger given the way they are clipped. They can tear but it is rare.
Right before a trip to Wilson Cave last year my Platypus broke after falling a few feet. I was really bummed and threw some PowerAde bottles in my bag as a last minute solution. The thing I didn't know about Wilson is that the only way to get water is to leave a rigid bottle under a drip for a few hours. I had generally liked Platypus, especially compared to CamelBak, but if I had brought my floppy 2L I never would have been able to refill my water.
I used Platypus for caving for several years. I really like having a light and collapsible water bottle, and I prefer the 1L size, but they just aren't very durable. They last 3-4 hard trips before developing a leak. If you're lucky it's a slow leak, but otherwise the contents of your pack are wet and you're 1L short. The MSR bottles are a bit better, but I'm liking the HydraPaks so far. Maybe the only down side is they don't stand up on their own.

Just bought my first Swaygo. Now I'm a real caver.
Just realized I've been closing my swaygo packs incorrectly and making them such a hassle to open unnecessarily. Thank you for these videos

I like the term "Speleodynamic"!
Very interesting, now i just need to determine if that bag is big enough for my camera gear... might make a mock bag.
Planning on buying one real soon
very interesting !
I like to have a big one, for my stuff.
Interesting bag. European cavings use daren drums and tackle bags. Have you seen any that use this bag?
I haven't seen them used in Europe, and a Darren drum won't fit inside the Swaygo.

@@DerekBristol thanks! If one of them DID rip do think it would be repairable?
I think Swaygo may repair them. If I ripped one then I’d just use one of the many other holes and keep caving.
Who makes that soft water bottle you were loading into the bag in the video?
HydraPak Stow (1L). Really good collapsible water bottle for caving. At least so far. They seem to be much more durable than Platypus.
Thanks
