Carabiner attachment points force the zipper openings to remain recessed, limiting access to the pouch’s full width. The available sizes accommodate different loads, with smaller versions suited to passports, boarding passes, charging cords, notebooks, and pens. Users can organize pouches by color or write identifying labels in the built-in dot matrix area using a sharpie.
The reinforced fabric retains its anti-slip texture when wet, helping the pouch remain grippable in damp conditions. The large pouch held a Nikon D600 body and two prime lenses securely, but its shortened zipper made loading and unloading tight.
