ULA Production halt?

[Doctari]

Hey folks I don't know where this rumor started, but we are producing more packs than ever / every pack in every size is in stock, and orders are generally filled the day they come in. At this point, other than through our website, we only sell through a couple of retailers, Down Works in Santa Cruz, Mt Rogers in VA and Mountain Crossings in GA, they should all have packs in stock, or could get them in a week or so// Hope this clears things up //Chris McMaster Owner// ULA

Welcome aboard Chris! I suspect that making the more popular optional items standard features is a good move. My Ohm has the "Optional" hip belt pockets, & I can't imagine taking them off, or even not having them, so: Way to go.

Cool to know. I got one of the ULA packs this year and love it.

I got one of the ULA packs this year and love it.

And it loves you.

[SGT Rock]

It hugs me all the time.

I named mine Cindy, after my first ex-wife. That bitch was always on my back, too.

Good one

never ever seen one so no judgements can be made if they are good or bad packs

[Chaco Taco]

Waiting on ours. Looking forward to receiving it and ordering a new one for Wakapak

Who here has the catalyst? That's the one I'm thinking about trying out. Are they as durable as the Gregory Packs? That's one of my biggest peeves...

Never had a Gregory, but my Catalyst and Circuit seem more than durable. And I've never seen the owner of Gregory post on here.

[Yukon]

While the owner of ULA posting on here is definitely cool, and I give him props for it, it's not a pre-requisite for making a durable pack. I really would like to try out a Catalyst, I just can't bring myself to shell out the $250 when I like my Gregory pack so much. But hearing how many people like the ULA packs leaves me wanting to try one so I might have to at some point just to satisfy my own curiosity. Worse that could happen is I don't like it and I sell it.

I bet you could sell a used ULA pack on this site in 5 minutes flat.

Yeah, this site is where I bought my Conduit a couple of years ago.

[AUhiker90]

Sent my conduit in a few weeks ago and the new folks up ther are very nice but Bryan is the one that really helped me with my selection and sold me on his awesome products. I hope that only the ownership has changed and the products will stay on their same path as bryan had them and that Bryan will still give thoughts and new suggestions to the product line in the future

Used ULA Catalyst for sale right now on Trailjournals.
Just an FYI for anyone looking.

Depends on what Gregory. I have straight up abused my 2003 Gregory Shasta and it doesn't have no much as a scratch. That's the problem, as I don't need a pack that durable anymore so I don't want to carry all that weight. My 2006 Catalyst has some holes, ripped seams, and abrasions, but nothing major. I would say it hasn't even reached it's halfway point in life and I have used it a whole lot. It'll probably be discontinued by the time I want to replace it.

In the end it's only a backpack. If you like your Gregory, keep it. You shouldn't try to make a ULA fit if it's not the pack for you, just because everyone else says great things about theirs.

Lets see what happens. Just put one up on the gear forum.

[peakbagger]

I ordered a pack last evening From ULA with some custom modifications and they shipped it this morning.

Assuming it shows up in a few days, I am impressed!

[srestrepo]

the ULA sale is a safe bet, but the resale value on a Warbonnet Blackbird hammock... nothing better than that...

Bluff Mountain Outfitters in Hot Springs was carrying this pack and has a couple of them in stock but they seem to think the same that I thought a few weeks ago. I told them that Chris was producing packs.
