The Savotta Side Pocket 4L is a small pouch with rudimentary internal organisation and external compression strap loops that fits all of the Savotta Jääkäri series packs.
It is really nothing too fancy, but just what you need from a side pouch on your backpack. The vertical webbing on the front keeps the compression straps of your backpack neatly in place over the pouch, allowing them to properly compress the pouch as well. These can also be used as attachment points for bungee cords or carabiners.
This useful pouch benefits from a zip closure, which is covered for added water repellency and protection from abrasion and dirt. The bottom and bottom halves of the sides are lined with 210D polyamide for added abrasion resistance and a grommet offers drainage of any water that may seep in.
A 25 mm webbing loop and D-ring on the top of the rear interior wall allow you to secure small and important items, the flat rear compartment offers simple organisation for smaller things that you want to keep safe.
The rear features the standard PALS attachment webbing system with tuck tabs. The middlemost horizontal webbing rows were eliminated as they didn’t really do anything besides add weight. Savotta aren’t an ultralight gear manufacturer, but even they don’t like unnecessary weight. Optimal attachment requires a width of three channels and a height of five (min. four) rows of PALS webbing. Your packs side compression straps will, when tightened down, eliminate any movement of the pouch and its contents.
As a rather small pouch with only four litres capacity these don't fit anything huge, but this also makes these well suited for use on small backpacks with limited height/width on the sides. There is still room inside for a medium size tarp and accessories or a lightweight puffy jacket, rain suit or poncho or a regular 1.5 litre water bottle, and some other stuff.
