Side pouch featuring an 8-liter capacity in M05 Woodland camouflage, constructed from robust 500D Cordura renowned for its outstanding resistance to abrasion and mechanical wear. Additional reinforcements have been applied to the bottom and sides, enhancing resilience during use in the field. All materials conform to NIR (Near Infrared) standards, ensuring decreased detectability in the infrared range. Secured with a zipper closure.
The zipper is shielded, enhancing protection against moisture, dirt, and abrasion. A vertical webbing strap on the front stabilizes the backpack’s compression straps, ensuring optimal performance during load compression. The design also features a drainage hole at the base, allowing efficient expulsion of water and debris in field situations.
Positioned at the upper section of the rear interior wall, a 25 mm strap loop and a D-ring provide secure attachment points for small and valuable gear. The flat rear compartment facilitates straightforward organization of compact essentials.

The M05 camouflage (Finnish M05 Maastokuvio) refers to a series of pixelated camouflage patterns that have been standard issue for the Finnish Defence Forces since 2005, replacing the previous M91 design. Created through digital analysis of seasonal photographs taken in Finnish forests by the Finnish Forest Research Institute, the M05 range features multiple pattern variations, including woodland, snow, and cold weather options.
The primary woodland variant of M05 features light green, dark green, brown, and dark graphite shapes, effectively mimicking the distinctive composition of Finnish woodland environments. Owing to comparable vegetation and terrain, the M05 Woodland pattern also delivers exceptional concealment in the forests of Central and Eastern Europe, ensuring optimal performance in natural landscapes.
