STUFF YOUR PUFF.

Since their release in 2016, our packing Pods have changed the way countless adventurers load up their kits for trips into the wild.

Our Side Entry Pods take these qualities and up the ante with a roll-top opening for storing soft, compressible items like your sleep setup or clothing. Treat the squishy stuff to the same exceptional Pod-ness the rest of your other essentials enjoy!

Perfect!
Just when I thought the pods couldn't improve. I use these for my underquilts, quilts, clothes, and anything else like that. l like that extra touch of moisture security. Very happy with this new item.

Best Packing System Ever
What’s not to love about it! The volume seems smaller but I can get both my quilt and down pillow in the large because you can compress it down a lot more, thus saving even more space. The more I can roll down my pack, the more comfortable it is

Great Small Pod
Used for my extra clothing on a four day trip in the pacific NW. It worked very well. Will be getting the large zipper pod next. Trying to develop a nice packing system in my 3400 Windrider.

Side pod perfect for quilt & pad!

I love the side pod! I stuff my 30 degree quilt and Uber light pad in it easily. Then that becomes the foundation of my packing system. The side pod fits perfect in my Unbound 40, Granite Gear Crown 60 and zpacks Arc Haul Ultra.

WHAT A GREAT DESIGN

What a great design, I got the 10L size for myself, which will fit my 20 degrees regular-wide quilt along with my Pillow and sleeping bag liner.

I also purchased the 8L size for my wife which will fit her 20 degrees regular short quilt along with her Pillow and sleeping bag liner.

These side entry pods fit perfectly combined with are Hyperlite Mountain Gear Dyneema Pods 2400/3400 10L & 6.5L into the bottom of Osprey Exos & Eja 48 Liter packs.

Makes packing easier!

Makes it much easier to pack up. I used to stuff my quilt in the bottom of my pack, but the pod is easier and quicker.

I got the 10 liter size, it will fit my 30 degrees regular-wide quilt along with a thermarest x-lite pad. It fits my 22 degrees wide quilt by itself but it’s a bit of work and it’s a tight fit.

Fits snuggly into the bottom on my Southwest 40 L. Hiked all day in rain on the AT and everything was completely dry.

We’ll worth the money and the weight.

Mt. Fuji

The side entry pod fits in the pack perfectly and offers a handle for carrying. The roll down closure allows the bag to be sized to its contents. I got the largest size and adjusted the closure as items were pulled out. I used one for holding layers of warm clothes as we gained altitude. A second side entry pod held rain gear, gloves and other items I needed to grab easily. The handle made it easier to remove from the pack as compared to the top entry zipper pods. Delivery was fast.
