Improving your backpack by adding additional pockets significantly improves convenience and efficiency in the field. Additional pockets allow you to better place your gear, preventing clutter and the need to search through the entire backpack for small items.(h3) How to improve organisation in a backpack?
Segregate equipment: use different pockets to store different types of equipment. For example, cooking tools and equipment can be placed in one pocket and first aid supplies in another.
Accessibility: place items that you need quick access to in easily accessible outer pockets. This will ensure that key equipment such as a map, compass or torch is always close at hand.
Personalisation: adapt the layout of the pockets to your personal preferences and needs. The ability to reconfigure the pockets gives you the flexibility to adapt the backpack to different situations.
Increasing accessibility
Upgrade the backpack: add external pockets or modular elements that can be easily clipped on or off as required. This solution is ideal for people who need flexibility depending on the type of expedition.
Use of mesh pockets: these are ideal for storing items that need to be accessed quickly or need to be ventilated, such as wet clothes.
Types of pockets in rucksacks: overview and uses In outdoor rucksacks, different types of pockets fulfil a variety of functions, adapted to the needs of the users. Side pockets are ideal for storing items that you need quick access to, such as water bottles, snacks or small equipment, allowing you to reach them easily without having to remove the backpack. Pockets on the waist belt provide practical space for small but important items such as a multitool, phone or small torch, offering easy access when walking and even weight distribution.
The mesh pockets are particularly useful for drying wet clothes or storing light equipment, providing good ventilation and easy access. Inner pockets, on the other hand, are used to keep valuables, documents and money safe, protecting them from theft and weatherproofing them. Finally, waterproof pockets provide reliable protection for electronics, documents and other moisture-sensitive equipment, ensuring the safety of equipment in unpredictable weather conditions.
Choosing pockets for your rucksack: key criteria When choosing pockets for your outdoor rucksack, it is important to pay attention to several key criteria that will determine their practicality and functionality. The capacity of the pocket is one of the most important aspects - it should be tailored to the type and number of items you plan to store in it. A pocket that is too large may cause items to move around, while one that is too small will limit the amount of equipment you can store.
The way the pocket is attached to the backpack is equally important. It needs to be robust and reliable so that the pockets do not fall off during heavy use. Systems such as buckle straps or Velcro are popular and effective solutions.
Access to the pockets is another important factor. Pockets should provide easy and quick access to the contents, preferably without having to remove the backpack. This is particularly important for pockets on the waist belt or side pockets.
Materials and durability of additional pocketsMaterials used for additional backpack pockets must be durable and able to withstand harsh field conditions. Nylon and Cordura are two of the most popular materials that are prized for their abrasion and tear resistance. They are ideal for outdoor use as they can withstand the friction of rocks, branches and other rough surfaces.
Water resistance is another important feature, especially in pockets designed to hold electronics or other moisture-sensitive items. Materials such as TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) or nylon with waterproof coatings are often used in the manufacture of waterproof pockets.
The durability of the seams and the quality of the zips are other aspects worth paying attention to. Seams should not be left unreinforced, as they are potential points of weakness through which pockets can tear.
