FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Small four litre backpack side pouch with rudimentary internal organization and external compression strap loops.
Really nothing too fancy, but just what you need from a side pouch on your backpack. The zipper is covered for added water repellency and protection from abrasion and dirt. The vertical webbing on the front keeps the compression straps of your backpack neatly in place over the pouch, allowing them to properly compress the pouch as well. These can also be used as attachment points for bungee cords, carabiners and stuff like that.
A 25 mm webbing loop and D-ring on the top of the rear interior wall allow you to secure small and important stuff, the flat rear compartment offers rudimentary organization for smaller stuff. The bottom and bottom halves of the sides are lined with 210D polyamide for added abrasion resistance. A grommet offers drainage of any water that may seep into the pouch.
PALS attachment
The rear features our standard PALS attachment webbing system with tuck tabs. The middlemost horizontal webbing rows were eliminated as they didn’t really do anything besides add weight. We aren’t a ultralight gear manufacturer, but even we don’t like unnecessary weight.
Optimal attachment requires a width of three channels and a height of five (min. four) rows of PALS webbing. Your packs side compression straps will, when tightened down, eliminate any movement of the pouch and its contents.
The 4L side pouch fits all of our Jääkäri and Kantamus series packs.
Exemplary use cases
As a rather small pouch with only four litres capacity these don't fit anything huge, but this also makes these well suited for use on small backpacks with limited height/width on the sides. Here are some examples of what you can fit in one of these:
1) A medium size tarp and accessories
2) A lightweight puffy jacket, rain suit or poncho
3) A regular 1,5 litre beverage bottle, and some other stuff
4) A 0,7 litre insulated food jar
5) A Jetboil stove and one gas cartridge
