Why are the shapes of the pockets on both sides of the waist belt different from each other?
When trying to take out an item while walking with the backpack on, you notice that the shapes of the left and right pockets on the waist belt are not symmetrical, making you wonder what kind of gear you should divide and pack in them.
The HIKER WORKSHOP waist belt features a zippered pocket on the left and a stretch pocket on the right, allowing you to divide and use them according to the nature of the belongings you store.
The left side is a zippered pocket, and the right side is a stretch pocket[1]. The reason for choosing different methods instead of matching both sides identically is that the actions of handling items on the trail differ from each other.
A pocket that opens and closes with a zipper keeps items from spilling out even with large body movements once it is closed. It is safe for storing belongings that must not be dropped, such as car keys or cards. On the other hand, the stretch pocket finished with elastic fabric allows you to directly reach in and take items out without the hassle of operating a zipper. It is suitable for holding items to be picked up immediately without breaking the flow of your pace, such as snacks eaten frequently while walking or gloves.
hmmm, it is an option that places both the security you must keep and the convenience of immediate access directly into each hand without having to set the backpack down on the ground.
The internal capacity of the left and right pockets and specific size standards for smartphones that can be accommodated have not been confirmed yet.
