What you're doing hurts these small manufacturers and leads to even larger outfitters like REI tightening return policies that affect all of us. Several comments at various UL manufacturer sites say specifically not to order multiple sizes to see what fits. These same sites offer detailed info about their gear to get it ordered right from the get go.
With ZPacks being one of if not THE currently hottest UL/SUL cottage gear manufacturers there are oodles of Zpacks gear reviews including many YouTube vids. ZP's own site has many product demonstration vids so having to "feel" gear in person sounds like an excuse for not engaging in appropriate gear due diligence. ZP's popularity also ranges into LARGE metropolitan Texas areas like DFW so hook up with others there to see their ZP gear.
