“very useful backpack additions”

“I added one of these pockets to the outside of my 5.11 Rush 24 backpack. The Rush 24 has many rows of MOLLE straps and I simply used tie wraps to attach. It isn't the ideal way, but it works rather well. The pockets hold more stuff than I expected. I can put a water bottle, food, and some misc stuff in there. They seem like they are durable enough to handle some rough handling. Also, it seems to be rather water-resistant so I don't have to worry about rain soaking my gear. The zipper covers keep it well protected. Unfortunately, the size or design of the zippers keeps these from getting a 5 star rating. If I have them zippered shut I always need two hands to open the pocket. They might slide better if I lubricate them, but I haven't tested that idea yet. Also, the pocket doesn't have any drainage holes so if/when I have a bottle leak it will sit in there. Overall, these were a great buy and I would get more of them if I had any need for more storage.”
