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.

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 entry pod

I like the side entry pod, my 40 degree quilt fits in it nice. I am waiting on the large pod that fits my Junction 2400 to come back in stock, I’m hoping that I will be able to fit my quilt and NEOAIR XLITE NXT in it.

Perfect for my 15 * Flex quilt

Got the 10 lt for my southwest 40. Fits like a glove in the bottom of the pack. Can squeeze a 450 bear can in the top along w the stuff sack pillow, my tent and my quilt in the 10 lt SE pod. Great compliment to my kit.

Perfect Fit

8L size is perfect for a Hammock Gear 20° quilt, and it fits precisely into the bottom of the Windrider 40L. Ditched an older and heavier dry bag (long canoe trips) and I actually feel more secure about water resistance now. Love shedding grams for those 3 mile portages as well. Hyperlite hit the sweet spot on the engineering of this one. Will be a permanent part of my kit for a long time to come.
