When your adventure calls for traveling along snowy ridgelines or climbing icy peaks, the ice axe loops are the perfect addition to your backpack. A pair of loops are attached at each side of the pack for securing two ice axes. The head of each axe secures through a loop at the bottom, and the handle is kept tight at the top with a shock cord band. The loops can all come off when you aren't carrying axes.

When the terrain levels out or you’re strolling into a trail town, trekking pole holsters are a great way to stow your trekking poles out of the way. These are convenient if you want to quickly store your poles for climbing, road walking, or other situations where you prefer to have your hands free.

This item includes two pairs of adjustable shock cord loops.  Attach them to your shoulder straps and belt at each side of the backpack to temporarily hold a trekking pole at either side.

Our detachable Roll Top Closure Straps let you cinch the roll top down to the sides of the backpack, rather than simply clipping it together. If you add these, you still have the ability to secure the top of the pack the normal way by clipping the top to itself.

Made in the USA.

*These are NOT compatible with our Nero Backpack.

Our V Top Strap adds additional stability when you’re carrying heavier items on the top of your backpack. It is a little bit more secure than the standard, single top strap.

It can be used to carry a bear canister so long as the canister can squish into your gear as shown. Alternatively, a canister can also be carried standing vertically inside the pack.

The V Top Strap is modular and can be added or removed from your pack as necessary. Our normal, single top strap is also included when you add this option.

These Top straps are not compatible with the Nero backpack.  If you need a V Top Strap for your Nero, you'll can purchase one specifically designed to work with one here.

Protect your backpack from pouring rain and muddy ground with our Pack Cover. Our pack cover is an ultralight option to keep your backpack dry, including the outside pockets. It includes an elastic clip to secure it from storm winds.

Consider a Pack Liner as an alternative, if you don't mind your outer pockets getting wet.

Designed specifically for the Nero, these 1L pouches feature a padded back for comfort and an integrated channel to slide over 3/4" or 1" wide webbing belts. Perfect for folded maps, snacks, hats, gloves, gadgets and more.

Sometimes an adventure calls for a little extra space. Our modular Top Side Pockets allow you to carry extra gear (like your cooking pot or rain gear) on the outside of your pack while still being able to accommodate taller items (like trekking poles, an umbrella, or a fishing pole) behind the pockets.

Our Arc backpacks include a full-wrap padded belt. If you need a little extra padding in the lumbar area our detachable lumbar pad can double up the existing padding. The lumbar pad slides on and off the Arc belt as needed.

These are NOT compatible with our Nero Backpack.

The Shock Cord Lashing add-on can be used to hang items off your pack to dry, or to strap on additional items. The 3/32" shock cord is laced across the front of the backpack over the mesh pocket. The shock cord can be detached when not needed.

Our Arc backpacks feature a removable and interchangeable belt. This is a useful feature if you lose or gain weight, or if the pack is transferred to a different size person. If the belt wears out before the rest of the pack you could replace it.

Your tent protects you every step of the way, from harsh rainy nights to dew dropped mornings. Shield your tent floor from unnecessary wear and tear, and add longevity with a flat groundsheet.

Our tent floors are reasonably durable as-is but an extra layer doesn’t hurt for peace of mind.

This is also available as Poncho which also doubles as a pack cover.

Tyvek "Home Wrap" is an ideal material for ground sheets. It is waterproof, and very abrasion and puncture resistant. Tyvek is stiff, and foldable like thick paper. It will not bunch up or slide around under you like other fabrics.

Fold up the edges and tape the corners to make yourself a bathtub floor for your tarp. Cut it to size using regular scissors to make a tent footprint. It does not fray and you do not need to hem or tape the edges.

This material is white on one side, with a blue and red Tyvek logo printed on the other side.

Our universal trekking pole jack slides over the tip of your trekking pole to boost the length for pitching taller tarps and tents.

It has an insert to catch your trekking pole tip and keep it centered and vertical. The insert is on a spring to adjust to different tip lengths. It will fit virtually all pointy trekking pole tips.

This pole jack will boost your pole height by about 10-10.5" (26 cm).

Need a lift? These fabric cups make it easy to prop up the head or foot of your shelter for more space. You can use a trekking pole with the handle up (out of the mud), or a tent pole, or a stick. The cup catches your pole handle, or tent pole tip securely and without any hassle.

32" (81 cm) Tent Poles are just the right length to prop the head or foot of our tents. Or use a 48" (122 cm) pole at the head or foot of a flat tarp.

One end of the pole cup has a loop that you can attach to any tie out with a lark's head knot. The other end has a Lineloc V sewn on so that you can adjust your guy line.

Cord not provided

No more fumbling around in the dark looking for your phone, flashlight, or glasses. Keep all of your valuables safe in one location. This pocket is sewn to a strip of our seam tape at the top edge. Just peel away the paper backing and stick it in a convenient place. The tape sticks really well to Dyneema® Composite Fabric, and will also stick to urethane coated floors. It will not stick to silicone fabrics.

*All new Zpacks tents already have pockets by default. These can be used to retrofit older tents. They can also be attached to our bathtub groundsheets, or tents made by other manufacturers.

Esbit tablets are the true minimalist solution to heat water for simple meals, or an energizing cup of morning coffee. These solid fuel tablets will burn for about 12 minutes and can be blown out after partial use. They work great with our Titanium Wing Stove.
