Anyone own these? I have their standard hip pockets but want these to put on a 1inch webbing belt.

Any good?

Just got some delivered yesterday, haven't tested them out yet.

Build quality is good, they seem to offer a decent amount of padding. I'd not put them on bare skin.

If you need a wide hipbelt for load transfer I definitely wouldn't use them. For a sub 10kg load in a nero or similar I think they'll be good.

Volume wise they're about the same as the pockets on an arc blast... Huge.

jeez, thanks a lot guys.

Now that you have pointed me to the zpacks site I am going to have to give zpacks some of my money.

and I thought that I had everything....

I'm getting a wilderness thread works Sonder made, so these are to go on that. 1 inch hip belt, sub 9kg loads.

I have the non padded ones already and I really like them.

Why not have Dan to make you some hip belt pockets when he makes the Sonder? That's what I dis and its great! Should save a heap on shipping too.

What butter-nuts said times two.

I'm going to wait till the pack comes and see what I can fit. I have some Atom packs pockets that I don't use in LS 21 (sonder in LS 21 too) so I'll see how I go.

I do prefer the size and top zip of the Zpacks pockets compared to side zipped Atom ones though.

Another option would be to opt for a padded hip belt which Dan can do, a couple of loops sewn onto that would work though at a 60g penalty (gasp).
