Savotta Side Pouch 12L - olive
Savotta Side Pouch 12L - olive
Really nothing extraordinary, but just what you need id the side pocket of the backpack. The zipper is covered to provide additional waterproofing and protection from abrasion and dirt. A vertical strap on the front keeps the backpack's compression straps in place over the bag, also allowing them to properly compress the pannier. They can also be used as attachment points for bungee cords, carabiners and similar things.
A 25mm wide webbing loop and D-shaped ring at the top of the rear inner panel allow you to secure small and important items, while a flat back compartment provides basic organization for smaller items. Bottom section lined with 210D polyamide for extra abrasion resistance. The grommet provides drainage of water that may enter the pouch.
PALS assembly
On the back there is a standard PALS fastening system with tabs. The most central horizontal rows of webbing were eliminated because they didn't really do anything except increase the weight. We are not a manufacturer of ultralight equipment, but even we do not like unnecessary weight.
Two vertical fastening straps leave approx. the 9 cm wide gap between them allows you to carry things like axes, fishing rods, etc. tucked behind the cargo hold.
Optimal attachment requires a width of five channels and a height of eight (min. seven) rows of PALS tape. Your side compression straps, when tightened, will eliminate any movement of the pouch and its contents.
From the Savotta range, the 12L side pocket is recommended for the Jääkäri XL only. Although not recommended, it can be mounted to fit smaller backpacks with an absolute minimum of six rows of PALS webbing on the sides. This can be done by fixing the bag one step higher and accepting that the bottom will be a little soft.
