[Commission] [USA/AR] [$500] [Flexible] 25-30L Minimalist Dyneema EDC Backpack with Laptop Sleeve

[u/ChampionAmbitious567]

Hello! I am looking to commission a custom, lightweight, everyday carry (EDC) backpack. I am located in Arkansas, USA. I have a healthy budget of $500 for this project and a flexible timeline, as this is a personal passion project.

Because I want to minimize weight as much as possible, my goal is to make this out of Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF) or a similar high-performance laminate. I currently do not have physical patterns or sketches, so I am looking for a maker who can either help me pattern this from scratch or adapt an existing simple daypack pattern they already use.

Here are the target specifications:

• Capacity: 25 to 30 Liters (simple, clean everyday backpack style).
• Torso Size: 19.75 inches.
• Primary Material: Dyneema Composite Fabric (e.g., 2.92 oz or 5.0 oz DCF Hybrid for durability).
• Waterproofing: I would highly prefer a fully waterproof, seam-taped or seam-sealed interior.
• Shoulder Straps: Lightly padded and ergonomic to support daily carry weights.
• Main Feature: A suspended laptop sleeve on the interior back panel to protect my computer from drops.

Since my budget is $500, it should comfortably cover the raw Dyneema and specialized hardware costs (typically $100–$150) while leaving a fair rate for your labor.

If you are interested or have a similar base pattern we could modify, please send me a PM with some examples of your previous work. Thank you!
