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.

**DCF material shoulder pouches are priced lower while supplies last. They look fine on Ultra backpacks and function about the same.

  • Choose from 3.3 oz/sqyd Ultra 100X or 3.1 oz/sqyd Dyneema® Composite Fabric to match your backpack.  


  • These will fit on almost any pack. Elastic bands hold the pouch securely to your shoulder straps. It is clipped at the top with a Loop Toggle to prevent it from sliding up or down.


  • Bellowed design, and the elastic on the front mesh keeps the pouch snug with almost no shaking even when running or jumping.  


  • 60 cubic inch main compartment is a good size for items such as a camera. A .5L bottle is also a nice fit and can help counterbalance your pack.   


  • The mesh front pocket is handy for tucking small items.  


  • Draw cord opening is quick and easy for getting at your items.  


  • The pouches are symmetrical, and can go on either side.  


  • Stays dry in all but heavy rain. Line it with a zip lock to protect electronics.


  • All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.
