The Savotta Side Pocket 6L is a medium 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. The two vertical attachment straps leave an approx. 9 cm wide gap between them, this allows you to carry items such as an axe or fishing poles stuffed down behind the pouch. Optimal attachment requires a width of four channels and a height of six (min. five) rows of PALS webbing. Your packs side compression straps will, when tightened down, eliminate any movement of the pouch and its contents. The 6L side pouch fits all our Jääkäri series packs. On packs with less than six rows of PALS webbing on the sides the bottom of the pouch will ‘hang’. You can let the side compression straps take care of that, or you can choose to attach the pouch one step higher up on the side of the pack.
With a capacity of six litres this is very much a medium size pouch, not small, not huge. Something you would expect to see on a 30-80 litre backpack. There is room inside for a large tarp and accessories or two regular 1.5 litre water bottles or 24h worth of rations and snacks.
