I got the large one and the lid. Plan is to make a "on the cheap" knockoff BlackPak so when I hit La Jolla for the first time I dont donate all my gear to mother earth. LOL

Addition to the Innovations thread to come this weekend....

Those look really good. The lid is nice. I'll have to check them out. The only problem I can see is if the latch contains metal. If it does, it's going to rust out quickly.

I got mine from a family owned produce shop. I just went in and asked if they had any extra (which they always do) and got one for free.

Nope, all plastic!

That's always an idea, I just don't tend to like freebies. If I can afford it, I should pay for it.
