Trekking Pole Holsters (Both Sides of Pack)
I love them. They work great for my trekking poles and fishing pole !!!
– Scott B., ★★★★★
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.
54" DCF Tape Strip
The adhesive sticks excellently to any of our Dyneema® Composite Fabric products such as shelters, stuff sacks, or dry bags. It also sticks excellently to the interior of our Hybrid DCF backpacks and our Ultra Fabric backpacks. It will not stick to any silicone coated fabrics.
Foam Sit Pad
On my first backpacking trip with this item we had some very wet weather and I repeatedly found uses for this very light but super practical sit pad. It’s comfy to sit on but was also handy for kneeling on when dealing with wet gear or having a clean/dry place to put things on. Everyone in my family wants one now!!”
– Brandie L., ★★★★★
When it is time to stop for a meal or to relax and take in the views, our Foam Sit Pad will give you a dry, comfortable seat anywhere. This ultralight foam sit pad folds down small so that it is easy to pack. It fits nicely in the base-straps on our backpacks, or in an exterior pocket. You can pull it out on breaks to keep your butt dry and padded, or tuck it into the foot of your sleeping bag for padding under your feet at night. It is blue on one side and black on the other.
This pad is included as back padding with our Nero backpack and Sub-Nero backpacks.
Sewing Repair Kit
Great item to add to your repair/ditty bag/possibles kit. In a pinch the needle can be converted to a fishing hook. It could also be used for an emergency suture if you don’t have butterfly bandages or superglue to seal a laceration.
– David G., ★★★★★
Be prepared for any mishap and keep your gear in good shape until the end of your thru-hike with this handy sewing repair kit. This kit is perfect for repairing your backpack, clothing, or any other gear items that need a touch up while on trail.
Make sure to order some repair tape for the ultimate field repair kit set up.
Pair of Shoulder Strap Pads
Excellent, Immediately noticed that the pack was more comfortable with these pads helping to hike longer.
– Louis S., ★★★★★
Our Shoulder Strap Pads add extra padding to your shoulder straps right where you need it. These shoulder strap pads should be compatible with almost any backpack straps. They are made with 3/8" closed cell foam, and a layer of soft cushioning 3D mesh on the underside.
Trekking Pole Cup
Works great, extremely lightweight, and adds living space to the Duplex and Triplex. Highly recommended!
– Justin H., ★★★★★
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.
Additional Cord Not Provided
Black Mini-S Carabiner (4 Pack)
At just 2 grams each our Mini-S Carabiner may be the lightest metal carabiner anywhere! It is perfectly sized to clip to the 1/2" daisy chains and loops on our backpacks and tents, and it is strong enough to keep all your doo-dads securely clipped.
It is a tiny but mighty clip, perfect for hanging your bear bag at camp, or organizing all those loose essentials. Weighing next to nothing, it's built tough enough for almost any backpacking need but is not meant to support a human's weight.
Ready to clip and go? This carabiner’s got your back (and your gear)!
If you are missing a spot to clip it to, add a Stick on Loop to the inside of your backpack or tent.
Blue Mini-D Standard Carabiner (4 pack)
Nice to have some lightweight, small carabiners when hiking. Strung a line and used them to hold gear.
– Leon H., ★★★★★
At exactly one tenth of an ounce each these are the smallest and lightest carabiners around. They are perfect for clipping items to your pack, hanging your food bag, and many other uses. They are strong enough for almost any backpacking application, but are not meant to support a human's weight.
If you need a spot on your gear to clip it to, add a Stick on Loop.
