— Eric R. (5/5)

The 4. 5

"As I do like the the expansion pack a few improvements could be made, for instance the bottle drops could be a little wider at the opening than they are my Nalgene 32 oz barely fits and my geo press dose not fit the rubber at the base of the geo press makes it impossible to insert the sleeve, the molly although usefully could be better placed as well overall for what I want to do with this pack it should workout well"

— JOHN P. (4/5)

Great pack

"Roomy, great organization and extremely well built!"

— Michael B. (5/5)

This really is an awesome

"This really is an awesome waist belt. There is nothing else like it on the market (I really looked). It is built extremely well and the water bottles don't fall out like my old waist belt. The one nit is that the key leash, and clip are in a mesh pocket inside the main pocket. The mesh pocket already can be zipped closed so my thought is that the clip is not needed there. I have my wallet, keys, air pods and glass case hooked to that clip (see photo) so it would be better to have the clip as part of the main pocket."

— David S. (5/5)

Q&A

Does the large G-mod Pod Pouch fit on the front Velcro portion, or does the pictures show a medium Pod Pouch? Thanks!
Pod Pouches in size Medium universally fit every Grayl backpack, tote, hip pack and bottle carrier. For some smaller capacity objects (eg small Hip Packs, Transport Bottle Carrier handles, etc.) the Large pod pouch can be a tiny bit on the long side
