My sewing involves both outdoor clothing and gear, as you can see on my instagram page (link above). The pattern I drafted myself, roughly based on a basic pants and jacket pattern, but adjusted to fit a seating position (1 setof darts in the knee and elbow region, 2 sets of darts in the seat area). The fabric I sourced locally here in Norway, the gaskets and zippers were bought onling (ebay/aliexpress).

I often have difficulties openin only the outer cap of the Boston valve, ending up with screwing out the middle one-way valve too. Not something you vant to do on the water…

🤔 Not sure about this. You would loose the breathability of the goretex and it would be very damp.

1. I estimate the air volume to ca 5-6 liters,  so around 50-60N boyancy. The straps are sewn on to a piece of 1000D tpu, sandwiched between the 210D main tpu fabric.

I am on holiday now, but I can find the plans when I come home.
