Water Bottle Sleeve
87 reviewsWater Bottle Sleeves are a great way to keep your water easily accessible while also counter-balancing your backpack. Designed to fit 1L "Smartwater" bottles and similar, these sleeves will attach to the shoulder straps on just about any backpack.
Constructed from 3.1 oz/sqyd Dyneema® Composite Fabric Hybrid and durable 3.5 oz/sqyd mesh.
These will fit on almost any backpack. Two elastic straps and two loops with toggles attach the Water Bottle Sleeve securely to your strap's daisy chain.
The mesh compartment was specifically designed to carry the most common tall skinny 1L bottles, which measures 2.75" diameter by 11.5" tall including the cap (7 cm x 29 cm). Similar sized bottles will also work.
The collar features rigid plastic allowing you to easily remove or replace the water bottle with one hand and no fuss.
Elastic at the top of the holder can be wrapped around the neck of the bottle to prevent it from sliding out when bending over.

I am loving my water bottle sleeve. It's great to have the water close at hand when on a long hike. The elastic loop on the top is great for securing the bottle and is a nice touch. My only suggestion for improvement is to attach that loop from the outside of the sleeve rather than the inside, because when the water bottle is put back in, it takes extra efort to keep the loop from getting lost inside the sleeve. If sewn on the outside instead, that will never happen.

Works great with easy secure access to water bottle. Very light as well

Great! Holds 0.75 lt and 1lt bottles snuggly!

Just purchased water bottle holder nice and light seems pretty strong I guess I'll know shortly after my hike but overall quality seems good

I had to carefully select water bottles that would fit. I ordered strap pockets with my pack order and they would hold only a pint bottle,which made them almost worthless,much like the belt pockets. The pack is WONDERFUL!

Water Bottle Sleeve
Water Bottle Sleeves are a great way to keep your water easily accessible while also counter-balancing your backpack. Designed to fit 1L "Smartwater" bottles and similar, these sleeves will attach to the shoulder straps on just about any backpack.
Shoulder Pouch
Shoulder Pouches are the ideal place to keep your small camera or phone in reach for taking quick photos. The main compartment of the shoulder pouches are a good size for your wallet, car keys, map, headlamp, mittens, sunglasses, candy bars, pack towel, GPS, or any other items you would like to have within easy reach. The pouches carry comfortably on your shoulder, and you will hardly notice them there.
The small exterior mesh pocket can be used to store your small items like lip balm, emergency whistle, or a compass.

If your backpack has a webbing belt, try Belt Pouches with Pads.

Front Utility Pack Accessory
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.

Airplane Case
Our Airplane Travel Case is a useful addition for the jetsetting adventurer looking to blaze international trails. Slide your backpack inside to protect it when checking your backpack on to a plane. When you arrive, move the airplane case to the inside of your backpack and it doubles as a pack liner.
Regular Pack Liner Dry Bag
This full size roll top dry bag protects the entire internal contents of your backpack. This is a good option if you prefer to use non-waterproof stuff sacks instead of individual dry bags. It is also nice as an extra layer in very wet environments. It is sized to fill out the main compartment of any of our backpack sizes, and will fit most similar volume backpacks.
This is also available in a heavier material with a handle for dual-use as a protective Airplane Case for checking your backpack on an airplane.
Aquaclip Kit
Tired of bending over backwards to reach your water bottles? Our Aquaclip Kit allows you to to clip a water bottle to your backpack’s shoulder straps or belt so you have it easily accessible up front. It will fit any small water bottle with a standard size neck. The bottle can be popped in and out easily on the go. We find that it carries the weight of a 500 ml (16.9 fl oz) bottle well. If you're looking to carry a larger bottle, like the 1L SmartWater bottle, we recommend our Water Bottle Sleeve instead.
The Zpacks kit includes one AquaClip, two One-Wrap® Velcro bands for securing it to the daisy chain on your shoulder straps, and a rubber end cap so that the clip cannot slide out of the velcro.

Pack Cover
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.
Stick-On Key Zip Pouch
Make sure you don’t lose your most important items. Attach this stick-on key zip pouch to the inside of your backpack, and your keys, wallet, passport, smartphone or other valuables will still be where you left them at the end of your hike. When you get to town the pouch detaches and fits in your pocket.
Just peel off the brown paper backing from the included flat clips and attach the pouch inside your backpack where you want it. We usually stick it towards the top of the backpack right behind the shoulder straps so that it is easy to get to. The adhesive bonds well with Dyneema® Composite Fabric material and will also work on any urethane coated backpack material. Spare Stick on Flat Clips are available if you want to clip this pouch to a second location.
*Stick-On Key Zip Pouch colors are random and may be any of the Dyneema® Composite Fabric colors we have in stock.*
Medium Dry Bag
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.

V Top Strap
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.
