Detail Just what you need from a backpack's side pocket, no wonder. The fabric-covered zipper is protected from water, dirt and wear. Vertical tape loops on the front wall of the pocket keep the side compression straps of the backpack neatly in place on top of the pocket, evenly compressing the pocket as well as the backpack itself. These can also be used, for example, to attach rubber cords and carabiner hooks.
A 25 mm ribbon loop and a D-ring at the top of the back wall act as a securing point for small valuables, a flat inner compartment provides simple organization for small items. The bottom and the lower parts of the sides are reinforced with 210D mountain fabric. The water drainage hole at the bottom of the pocket takes care of any water that may have gotten into the pocket.
On the back, you can find our usual PALS brackets with folding ends. The middle horizontal alley strips have been omitted, they provided nothing more than extra weight. Although we are not a manufacturer of ultralight equipment, we still do not like unnecessary weight.
There is about a 13 cm gap between the two vertical PALS fastening straps of the pocket, this makes it possible to carry axes, rods, etc. slipped behind the pocket.
Usage examples This twelve-liter side pocket is really big and the pocket's PALS attachment is five alley spaces wide. Naturally, the most suitable place of use for this model is on the sides of large 70-100+ chests. Here are a few examples of what to pack for this:
