It's Summer and we got an awesome new version of our Pack Pocket in stock and ON SALE! What's NEW? We put our old pockets on a diet. The NEW version is skinnier and longer with front panels now using a 4-way stretch technical fabric for a better form fit. New pockets now fit Salomon and longer flasks and bike bottles up to 24oz. New design is also much easier to load and unload flasks/bottles and features a simple install that doesn't require undoing the shoulder strap to thread it thru and now fits wider and thicker padded shoulder straps just as well as thinner shoulder straps. We were jealous seeing all the running vests sporting flask holders out front, so we created a perfect pocket that would fit on almost any backpack and mimic that awesome hydration feature. This is no floppy clip-on accessory pocket, it actually integrates into your left or right shoulder strap, so your bottle/flask won't budge even when you're really bouncing. Our Pack Pocket doesn't jangle like other add-on bottle/flask holders. The secret is a pair of neoprene Velcro straps that wrap tight around the shoulder strap and attach internally inside the pocket. Although designed to hold a 500ml flask, our 4-way stretch fabrics form fit to smaller and larger flasks/bottles (even standard cycling bottles up to 24oz) Backside and attachment straps are made of neoprene, so it's soft and minimally padded where it touches your chest and on the front the material is a technical 4-way stretch nylon Optional Auxiliary Pocket is also made of 4-way stretch fabric and is a great spot for quick access to gels, candy, sunscreen, sunglasses. etc. and large enough for the biggest of phones! Pairs perfectly with our optional Hydrapak 500mL Softflask Speed w/ Silicone Straw. Bundle it and save! Main Pocket has a shock cord drawstring closure so it’s easy to open/close when carrying items other than bottles/flasks and it doubles as a leash by using the drawstring over the flask to keep it in place as it shrinks when drinking Dimensions (interior): 8.75" long by 4.25" wide Durable and light @ 50g for an empty Pocket and an extra 50g for the optional HydraPak PocketFlask 500mL Proudly handmade in Arizona, USA Risk-Free Purchase: if you're not satisfied, we'll send you a return label and exchange it for free! Install Tips for V2 Pack Pocket: Choose either right or left shoulder strap and with the Pack Pocket facing outward, place the Pocket's top Velcro strap just above the pack's sternum strap and wrap it around the shoulder strap and then thru the top slot on the backside of the Pocket and then pull tight and anchor Velcro loop to the hook material on the inside. Do the same wrap for the Pocket's bottom Velcro strap placing it just under the sternum strap and install is complete. If using Pocket with a flask, slide the flask into the Pocket and with flask's cap sticking out, pull the drawstring over the cap and secure it in place and you're ready to roll
