Description:

Shoulder pouches are the perfect accessory to store your camera, wallet, car keys, map, headlamp, chap stick, mittens, sunglasses, candy bars, wrappers, emergency whistle, pack towel, GPS, or any other items you would like to have within easy reach! The pouches carry comfortably on your shoulder, you will hardly notice they are there.

  • Two elastic bands hold the pouch securely to your shoulder straps. A safety pin through a tab at the top ensures that it won't slide up or down. The standard elastic bands fit straps that are 2.5" wide, or up to 7" around. If your pack has thicker/wider straps you can specify longer elastic.
     
  • Bellowed design, and the elastic on the front mesh keeps the pouch snug with virtually no shaking even when running or jumping.
     
  • 60 cubic inch sil-nylon main compartment is a good size for items such as a camera. Lightweight elasticized mesh front pocket is handy for tucking small items.
     
  • Draw cord opening is quick and easy for getting at your items.
     
  • Stays dry in all but heavy rain. Line it with a zip lock and/or seam seal it to protect electronics.
     
  • Weighs just 1/4 of an ounce! **A large safety pin also adds .03 oz.
     
  • 1 year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship.

Joe Says:
"I carried one of these on my PCT thru-hike and loved it. My camera and other items were always right there when I needed them but never in the way. I would go with a pair of pouches next time."
