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: .4 oz / 12 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: .7 oz / 20 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.
We 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 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 belt will be made in the same material as your backpack. The
weight varies depending on the material and size.

Torso Height:
Stand up straight. Measure in a straight line from just below where you want the
belt to ride on your body to the top of your shoulder. You can view a graphic helping to
show you how to measure
here.
Example: I am 5' 9" tall and I normally wear my backpack belt at the same spot I
would wear a belt on my pants. My measurement is about 21" from the bottom of my
pants belt to the top of my shoulder.
The default / medium torso height on this pack will fit a 20" to 21" torso as measured.
Taller and shorter torso heights can be selected.

pad. A Gossamer Gear Nightlight Torso Pad is shown. The holsters are
detachable.
