Travel Utility Zip
8 reviewsIts greater thickness and single zip access affords easy drop in holstering of my Galaxy Note 8 with cover into the “main” compartment, and its secondary compartment allowed for my passport and vaccination card. The third compartment worked for storing cash and my ticket/boarding pass.

Perfect town wallet
I actually purchased this to carry my phone on long exposed multi-pitch climbs, after using it a handful of times I pretty much take it everywhere with me! It perfectly fits my phone, keys, wallet and maybe a clif bar or pack of fruit snacks. Its high quality and durable.

Great Travel Gear
I have been looking for this one for a while. .Not just for travel, but on my day hike or around town. One thing that holds it all, for where ever I am going.. Thanks

Improvement for my travel needs
I have used the earlier version of this Travel Utility Pouch, which had zips on both sides, but thinner overall. This was great for passport and ticket/boarding pass on one side, cash on the other, but was a bit of a struggle if you wanted to holster your cell phone, too, especially if a larger model with case/cover. I was about to take a trip to Perú, and thought I'd check Zpacks to see if there was anything else that might serve, and found this new generation. Its greater thickness and single zip access affords easy drop in holstering of my Galaxy Note 8 with cover into the "main" compartment, and its secondary compartment allowed for passport (and vaccination card), and third compartment for storing cash and ticket/boarding pass. Yes, the thinner original allowed for more discrete carry under clothing, but the newer afforded very easy, quick, and useful access to my Smartphone for use as camera, and documents as needed.

Great little bag
Wonderful! It holds my large iPhone, my hiker wallet and has room for more!

Have this strapped to my pack’s chest strap which my iPhone 8 Plus fits in perfectly
Travel Utility Zip Add-ons
Front Utility Pack Accessory
Really glad I bought this pouch—it works with my pack’s waist belt, it’s practically weightless, and it’s the perfect size for phone, compass, map and a few snacks.
– Charles Y., ★★★★★
From the summit to the streets, the versatile Front Utility Pack Accessory provides quick and easy access to all your essentials.
With plenty of space for your phone, a camera, a jacket or snacks, the ultralight F.U.P.A. can be worn as a stand-alone item while bagging a peak or for a night out on the town.
Leave the webbing belt at home and connect the F.U.P.A. directly to one of our backpacks for the ultimate pack accessory.
Multi-Pack
Really appreciate the ability to carry it different ways and to carry it alone on days in town. Saves much time and aggravation as you can get to most things you need during your hike when carried on your chest.
– Mark B., ★★★★★
This versatile four-in-one backpack accessory is one of our most popular items. The ability to choose between four different configurations helps make the Multi-Pack the perfect companion for just about any adventure.

Tri-fold Minimalist Wallet
Very pleased it is sturdy and holds all I need. I find myself checking to see if I even have it with me a couple times a day. Currently carrying 11 hard plastic and 4 paper id sized items with ease.”
– John B., ★★★★★
Understated by design, the Tri-Fold Minimalist Wallet is an every day carry item that blends in whether you’re in Thailand or a trail town. Upspec’d with ultralight and durable Dyneema® Composite Fabric Hybrid, this wallet is designed to carry your ID, essential cards, and cash while handling the daily abuse of being on the go.
Packing Cubes
I think this is a significant improvement on some other companies’ ‘pods’. The cinch strap creates a pod that is both super accessible when the cinch is loose, but that squares off into a nice cube when the cinch is tightened. Great, simple design.
– Zaccharia T., ★★★★★
Whether its a duffle, a suitcase, or a backpack, our packing cubes are designed to fully utilize all available space; maximizing your carrying potential. Made out of lightweight and durable Dyneema® Composite Fabric, these cubes feature a wrap around webbing closure and compression system that ensures that your clothing and gear take up the minimal amount possible.

Medium Dry Bag
Very lightweight and compact. Roll top allows for flexible stowing options. All specs exactly as stated.
– Patrick M., ★★★★★
Trek through damp forests with confidence and dry gear. This is a good size for multiple clothing items, a tent, or a down quilt. This size fits well horizontally in most smaller backpacks.
Need a different size? Check out the rest of our Dry Bag collection.
Ultralight Travel Toothbrush
Reasonably light. Tooth paste tube easily refills off a bigger tube with a little thought and allows me to brush my teeth twice a day for a week.”
– Brian J., ★★★★★
Make sure you have fresh clean teeth to lift your spirits without weighing down your pack. This ultralight, compact toothbrush includes an extension handle, a mini toothpaste tube, and a handy carrying case all for less than an ounce! If that is still too heavy carry only the parts you need.
The included toothpaste tube holds enough for a week or more if used sparingly. When it runs out, pinch the air out, butt it up tight against a normal toothpaste tube, and squeeze more in to re-fill it.
These are not returnable once the packaging is opened, unless there is a defect.
Victorinox Classic Knife
The Victorinox Classic Swiss Army Knife is the perfect backpacking multi-tool at a minimal weight. It has a blade, functional scissors, a handy mini screwdriver, and nail file. A toothpick and tweezers are inserted in the sides.
This knife is either cobalt blue or red with the Zpacks crest on one side, and the Victorinox logo on the other side.
Looking for an even lighter knife with just a blade? Check out our Titanium Micro-Blade Knife.

Looking for a larger blade and extra features, check out our Victorinox Classic Knife.
Peak Design Capture Camera Clip
Keep your camera close when hiking and never miss a moment. The Peak Design Capture is the most secure, convenient and accessible way to carry your camera on trail, period. Unlike a camera strap, Capture keeps your camera rigidly stable while navigating the backcountry.
Simply attach the metal clip to your backpack strap, attach the Arca tripod-compatible plate to your camera and you’re good to go. Press the lockable quick-release button to remove your camera to capture every moment on trail.
Holds well over 200 lbs. (90kg), making it strong enough for the heaviest of pro camera/lens combinations.
Zpacks Lotus UL Umbrella
It was great at blocking the sun and flexible in the wind. I used it for hours in a rain storm yesterday and it was so light I barely noticed I was holding it that long. I plan to bring this umbrella everywhere.
