Hey John, I think a big difference is that the C17 is totally synthetic and waterproof whereas the Rivet is not, but no doubt you already know that. Though I've not used a C17 Carved so I can't speak directly to the comparison, I have been getting used to a Rivet Independence on my AHH since near the first of the year and I am quite pleased with it. Also they have an exceedingly generous return policy if you buy direct from Rivet. If I recall correctly you are in Sunol, in which case I'm less than 10 miles up the road near the fairgrounds. If you want to check out my slightly broken in Rivet we can work something out.
