The side pockets are of very good quality – I have several of them in different color and size variants. The 8L version is quite large and barely fits on my Savotta Jaakari L backpack – probably the 6L model would be a better option, but I wanted the largest possible capacity for my airsoft equipment. I recommend threading some paracord through the zippers to make them easier to find since they sometimes hide under the material.
Savotta Side Pouch 8 l - Black
Side pouch offering a capacity of 8 liters in black color, crafted from robust 500D Cordura. This material is highly regarded for its outstanding abrasion and mechanical damage resistance. Reinforcements on the bottom and sides further enhance longevity and performance during demanding field applications. All fabrics comply with NIR (Near Infrared) requirements, ensuring minimized visibility in the infrared spectrum. Secure closure is provided by a zipper.
Covered zipper, vertical stabilizing strip
The zipper is protected by a cover, enhancing its resistance to moisture, dirt, and abrasion. A vertical webbing strap located on the front provides stabilization for the compression straps, ensuring consistent performance during load adjustment. The construction is further improved by a bottom drainage hole, which facilitates the removal of water and debris in field environments.
25 mm tape loop, D-ring
A 25 mm strap loop and a D-ring are positioned at the top of the rear inner wall for securing essential and small items. The flat rear compartment provides convenient organization for compact gear.
At the back, a PALS attachment system with integrated tabs offers modular compatibility.

Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is a modular mounting system for pockets and pouches, used in the MOLLE system. It consists of horizontally sewn rows of 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide, fixed spacing webbing (such as on a backpack) and vertical webbing for attachment and threading (on a pocket). This system is usually equipped with snaps, which further secures the pinned items.
