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.

This tape is made with adhesive stuck to thin Dyneema® Composite Fabric as the backing material. It has a brown paper layer that peels away leaving clear adhesive stuck to a Dyneema® Composite Fabric strip. Just peel off the paper and press it smooth. No heat required.

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.

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.

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.

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.
