Re: Frost River's MK VII
Not really. It was lightly discussed in the backpack thread, but not much:

Re: Frost River's MK VII
British military canvas gear is made to be treated with 'blanco' (waterproofs and colours the canvas) so wonder if a good coat of waxed jacket wax and a go over with a hairdryer to impregnate it into the material would give you a similar result for small outlay?
The canvas is a pretty tight weave and that's usually a good sign it's 'waxable'. Might try that out.

Re: Frost River's MK VII
Does anyone know -- is it possible to switch out thier strap for a regular 'Indy-type' strap -- such as Magnonlis? W>

Re: Frost River's MK VII
You would need to cut off the original one. It is riveted in place, you can see it in one of the reviewer's pics.
Not sure about the width though...
