One more great way to keep the tools you need for a successful day within reach.
The Shoulder Pocket puts your chosen tools for communication with the outside world within arm’s reach. Or, throw in a small digital camera and document the outside world you’re in. Designed to mate perfectly with the shoulder strap systems found on our packs, it’s roomy enough to fit most modern cell phones and some GPS devices. Constructed with Dyneema® Composite Fabrics, it’s a rugged and slim accessory that won’t be a distraction or hamper your freedom of movement.
Put technology like phones or GPS, or items like sunscreen within reach with this accessory that attaches to the shoulder straps of our packs and many others.
TECH WITHIN REACH
Keep phones, GPS, or cameras where you can quickly access them.
BUILT WITH WATERPROOF MATERIALS
Dyneema Composite Fabrics make the Shoulder Pocket damn near waterproof.
RUGGED HARDWARE
Tough webbing and gated G-clips keep your gear in place no matter the terrain.
It work well and my phone fits nicely in the pocket. I haven't had it in heavy rain yet but it kept my phone dry in a light rain. It attached nicely to my Durston Kakwa 55. My only complaint is that the shipping was really slow.
When using on the Headwall 55, the shoulder strap "rolls" a full turn when putting the pack on. It's not uncommon for a shoulder strap to roll half a turn when putting a pack on. But with the shoulder pocket on the shoulder strap, the strap rolls a full 360 degrees when putting the pack on. For me, that is unacceptable.
As a workaround, I attached the shoulder pocket to one of the webbing ladders on the back of the pack. Works for easy access to things without opening the pack.
Construction is top end!
But finding any alternative use cases with the mounting clip outside of the backpack placement seems challenging. I just wish it was designed a bit more modular for belt mounting and other placement.
Perfect for holding a large cell phone or charger
After buying the shoulder pocket I was stoked to discovered that the front mesh sleeve fits my Garmin inReach Explorer+ perfectly! In the attached pic you can see the little ridge on the back of the Garmin that normally helps hold a belt clip. Well, as it turns out, with the Garmin in my shoulder pouch that ridge lies just below the elastic strap that runs across the top of the mesh pocket on the outside of the pouch (2nd pic) meaning that even if I were to shake the pack upside down with the inReach in the pouch, I never have to worry about loosing it. Great job, even if it's came about as a happy conincidence!
