Imlay Shenanigans 37L Pack
Imlay Shenanigans 37L Pack
The Shenanigans is a great 37-liter pack for canyoneering. This is the woman's version of the Kolob, our most-versatile pack, and the most popular pack. The body is the same size as the Kolob, with the shoulder straps adjusted down and re-shaped for women, and with a woman-shaped and sized hipbelt.
Hipbelts come in two sizes for women - Princess and Queen. Please note in the comments which size you think appropriate for you physique. (Hipbelt size not correlated with personality).
(To show how the color combos look, we might have pulled in photos from other packs).
Thirty-seven Liters is a good size for carrying a load of gear on day trips, and frugal individuals can do an overnight with it. The key features include PVC-laminate "armor" in key, high-abrasion areas, such as the bottom, the bottoms of the sides, and covering the mesh on the sides. The Cordura back pocket is a little larger and also acts as armor against abrasion.
A few changes were made for the 2018 model to improve comfort and durability. See Latest Rave Article about 2018 Packs. And then for manufacture in the USA (Utah and Arizona specifically), a handful of changes were made to make them more-sewable and make them just plain better.

Sheet-Lite frame for support at minimal weight

Simplicity. Durability. These were the attributes I had in mind when making this little pack, originally for guiding activities at Zion Adventure Company. Turns out to be a pretty good narrow-canyon pack - kind of like a larger, top-opening Leprechaun.
The updated Mystery is 2” taller than prior versions, making it more of a ‘real pack’, only 1” shorter than the Kolob. The three-point shoulder straps fit and carry better, and are easier to sew. They allow a wide fit range, from 5’4” to 6’2” (ish). The hipbelt is the traditional Wing Style as before, but adjusted for better function and easier sewing. The back frame is lighter and better at providing vertical structure.
Otherwise, the standard Mystery features apply - small enough to bring through narrow canyons, large enough to bring… well, stuff. On the approach. Not so much IN-Canyon. No lid. Armored sides with moderate drainage. Padded bottom for durability, with the Swoop styling that works so well for downclimbing. Quick-release shoulder straps. Water tube exits for those foolish enough to bring tanks into canyons. Inside Rack to hold your gear. Stout handle on the outside. Over-the-top strap to pull the whole thing together. Sidewinder handle on one side, for when it really gets skinny. Helmet pocket outside. And a non-pocket on the lower part of each side.
Total Weight = 2 lb 9 oz. Volume is 28 liters for the body, plus 5 liters for the Helmet Pocket on the approach.
Heaps Pack, Sewn proudly in the USA; Utah and Arizona
A 48-liter internal frame canyoneering-specific pack, the Heaps is the Big Kahuna of Imlay's line, offering excellent comfort in addition to canyon compatibility like no other. Big enough for long day-canyons carrying too much stuff, or for lightweight overnights.
A 47-liter internal frame canyoneering-specific pack, the Shinumo, is the High Priestess of Imlay's line, offering reasonable comfort in addition to canyon compatibility like no other. Big enough for long day-canyons carrying too much stuff, and for lightweight canyoneering overnights.
The Shinumo is the women's version of our Heaps Pack, built for smaller, curvier bodies. The pack body is 2" shorter, then made wider and deeper to reclaim the volume lost to shortening. The suspension has been re-engineered to fit women, especially smaller women. The hipbelt is shorter and curvier. The shoulder straps are narrower at the ends, but wide where they cross the shoulder.
The Kolob Standard Pack is a great 37-liter pack for canyoneering in wet canyons. The Kolob is our most versatile pack, and the most popular.
Now available in 4 sizes, each as a separate item - This being the Kolob Standard, the size we have made for 15 years, optimized to fit men 5’7” to 5’11”.
Also available:
Kolob Medium to fit men 5’4” to 5’8”
Kolob Tall to fit men 5’11” to 6’3”
Kolob Stretch to fit men 6’3” to 6’8”
Thirty-seven Liters is a good size for carrying a lot of gear on day trips, and frugal individuals can do an overnight with it. Carefully shaped for optimum performance in canyons, with the slanted bottom that helps stay out of the way on downclimbs.
