Wild Sky Gear DCF Cuben Fibre Dragonfly rucksack belt pouches hip pockets 17g+
Keep essentials at the ready with these handy hip pockets. Made from waterproof fabric with a wide mouth, easily installs on most rucksacks.
Note: All fabrics are waterproof except for the zip.
Like all manufacturers, we recommend protecting moisture sensitive items with a zip lock bag. Unsuitable for kayaking or water sports.
My British made belt pockets can be added almost any rucksack! They have a wide, YKK zippered mouth that can accept a standard smartphone, strong elastic loops and Siamese Slik clips allowing them to mount on pretty much anything, and they come in several awesome fabrics, including Dyneema and 100% recycled REPREVE polyester to reuse trash rather than create it.
Hip belt pockets are seriously useful. They allow you to keep all your gear and snacks accessible while on the move, meaning you never have to stop and rummage in your rucksack. You can store waterproof trousers in them, ready for surprise downpours, or a fistful of snacks.
