Side Pockets
These pockets are the same as the pockets on the regular packs. They are sized to fit 1 or 1.5 liter bottles,
and are positioned low on the pack and slanted forward for easy access
without removing the pack. 2 or 3 Liter platypus style bottles will
also fit.
All pockets have drain holes in the bottom to drain rain water. (Roughly
135 cubic inches each)
Weight: .2 oz / 6 grams each Price: $15 each

Center Pocket
A large center pocket is great for quick access items like food for
the day, clothing etc. Mesh is a popular choice since you can see your gear and
it lets you dry wet clothing. Mesh will hold more than a Cuben Fiber
pocket since it stretches.
The dimensions of the pocket are 2" deep by 16" tall by the width of
the pack you choose. Mesh stretches to about 3" deep. (Roughly 500 cubic inches)
Weight: .35 oz / 10 grams Price: $15

Webbing Belt
A simple nylon webbing belt, available in .75" or 1" width,
and various lengths. 1" is the most common width.
A belt adds stability, transfers weight off
your shoulders, and allows you to hang the pack away from your back
when its hot by loosening the shoulder straps.
I can also make this belt detachable but it adds about .2 to .3 oz.
Weight: 1.2 oz / 34 grams to 2 oz depending on size / length. Price:
$10

Padded Belt
This belt has 3/8" thick padding that wraps around your hips
more comfortably than a plain webbing belt. The belt is attached near
the center of the pack for a secure fit. It has a daisy chain for
clipping on belt pouches or other items.
The default size fits waists 30" to 40". Choose your belt
length to the
right.
Weight: 1.7 oz / 48 grams Price: $30 |

Torso Height
The default height will fit an average person with a torso length
around 19" to 21". The actual measurement on the pack is about 21"
from the bottom of the belt to the top of the shoulder strap
attachment. You can specify a different distance by selecting "other"
and setting the
quantity in your shopping cart.
The default height is sized to fit me. I'm 5'9. The
straps are attached slightly above my shoulders which I find helps
take weight off of them.

gear, a sleeping pad, snow crampons or other items. The strap is
detachable when you don't need it.

rain gear in on and off rain, or for lashing a stuff sack of gear
when the main body of your pack is full to the top with food. |

this pack. They can be added near the top of the pack, or at the
middle of the pack, or both.
The top side straps allow you to stand tall items like a trekking pole,
fishing pole, or umbrella in the side pockets. They are also good for
clipping small items like a hat, and for compressing the pack.
The middle side straps aid in compressing the pack, and let you secure tall water bottles,
etc in the side pockets.

detached when not needed.

but this is useful for securing items like wet clothing, wet tent etc. |
