  • Covered zipper closure
  • Front vertical webbing loops for compression straps
  • Internal D-ring for securing small gear
  • Internal flat rear compartment
  • Reinforced bottom and sides

Features

This is nothing too fancy, but just what you need from a side pouch on your backpack. The zipper is covered to protect it from water, abrasion, and dirt. The vertical webbing on the front keeps the compression straps of your backpack neatly in place over the pouch. This also enables the straps to compress the pouch properly. They can also be used as attachment points for bungee cords, carabiners, and stuff like that.

A 25 mm webbing loop and a D-ring on top of the rear interior wall allow you to secure small and important stuff. The flat rear compartment offers rudimentary organization for smaller stuff. A grommet at the bottom removes any water that may seep into the pouch.

PALS attachment

On the backside, you have the standard Savotta PALS attachment webbing system with tuck tabs. However, the middlemost horizontal webbing rows were eliminated as they didn’t really do anything besides adding weight. There is a c. 13 cm (5.1") gap between the two vertical attachment straps. It enables you to carry axes, fishing poles, etc. stuffed down behind the pouch.

Optimal attachment requires a width of five channels and a height of eight (min. seven) rows of PALS webbing. When tightened down, your pack's side compression straps will eliminate any movement of the pouch and its contents

Savotta recommends the 12 L side pouch to be used only on the Jääkäri XL. Although not recommended, you can attach it to smaller packs with an absolute minimum of six rows of PALS webbing on the sides. This is done by attaching the pouch one step higher and accepting that the bottom will be a bit floppy.

Sizing

Weight: 320 g (11.3 oz). Measurements: 21 x 45 x 10 cm (8.3" x 17.7" x 3.9").

Use

With a capacity of twelve liters, this is a very large side pouch; the PALS attachment is five channels wide. Best used on large and tall backpacks of 70-100+ liters. Below there are some examples of what you can fit in one of these.

  • Large tarp, hammock, underquilt and accessories
  • Lightweight puffy jacket, pants, and rainwear
  • Trangia 27-series stove, fuel, water, and lots of stuff to cook

  • A week’s worth of spare underwear, mid-layers and socks
  • All sorts of large special stuff you may need to carry
  • Materials

    Fabric: durable 500D Cordura (100% polyamide). The bottom and bottom halves of the sides are lined with 210D polyamide for added abrasion resistance. Webbing: 100% polyester.

    It doesn't work on the Jääkäri L shown in the pictures. It only has a few bars of webbing.
    Savotta hides the info in the description: "Savotta recommends the 12 L side pouch to be used only on the Jääkäri XL."
    If you buy the 12L for the Jääkäri L based on the photos you will be disappointed.
