Vertical Utility Pouch - PALS Compatible (4L & 6L)

Expand your backpack's carrying capacity with the Vertical Utility Pouch, a streamlined side pouch designed to attach seamlessly to PALS/MOLLE webbing. Available in 4L (Medium) and 6L (Large) sizes, this Finnish-made pouch features a covered zipper, compression strap compatibility, and reinforced construction from durable 500D Cordura.

Why Choose the Vertical Pouch

Sometimes you need quick access to gear without digging through your main pack. The Vertical Pouch mounts to the side of your backpack, keeping essentials like rain gear, tarps, water bottles, or a camp stove within easy reach. The vertical webbing loops work with your pack's compression straps to keep everything secure and stable, even on rough terrain.

Designed for Real Use

This isn't fancy gear with unnecessary features—it's exactly what you need from a backpack side pouch. The covered zipper protects against water and abrasion, the vertical webbing integrates perfectly with compression straps, and the reinforced bottom handles the wear and tear of being loaded and unloaded repeatedly. The 4-liter capacity is ideal for smaller backpacks with limited side panel space, while the 6-liter option suits larger packs and heavier loads.

Compatibility Note: While designed primarily for backpacks, this pouch can attach to any PALS/MOLLE-compatible gear including tactical vests, vehicle interiors, and plate carriers.

Simple, functional, built to last—the way outdoor gear should be.
