ADC-Front mesh Pocket

Change up your backpack

This is a long-awaited optional part for "OGAWAND" backpack users. The front mesh pocket is an iconic image of UL backpacks. It is convenient to be able to stuff things in without having to open or close the backpack.

The updated Front Mesh Pocket is now easier to attach and less likely to come off, making your mountain adventures even more enjoyable.

Effectiveness of surplus space

The capacity of the pocket is about 5 to 6L. It is roughly the size of a typical rain jacket and pants set, or a set of a tent (or a solo tent fly sheet) + pegs and guy lines. In any case, it is not that large, so it is treated as a secondary item.

However, even though it is simply called a "sub", it is also true that having such room and surplus space leads to "comfort" in the mountain climbing itself. In fact, it is difficult to put things that you want to put in your backpack but don't want to lose their shape, things that are wet, or things that you might use again soon... Such "packing problems" often come up during mountain climbing. At such times, many people have experienced that "a space where you can put in roughly" is more convenient than the actual capacity . We think that creating such "surplus space" is the meaning and value of this pocket. Also, for those who "usually pack with a front pocket", this pocket will provide natural ease of use, even though it is an add-on part, as it fits comfortably.

However, one thing to be aware of is that the front of the backpack is also the part farthest from your body, so if you put something very heavy in it (such as water or batteries), it will be pulled backwards and downwards while you are walking, which can put a lot of strain on your shoulders. People who tend to put everything in their backpacks need to be careful.

Attachment that doesn't look like an attachment

The "ADC-Front mesh pocket" comes in two sizes, one for "OWN" and "Acperience" and one for the large backpack "Goraon". Both can be attached without any discomfort even if the capacity of the backpack changes. The attachment method is the "ADC (Adjustable Daisy Chain) system", an original gimmick of "OGAWAND". It is a simple and easy method that "just pass the tape part of the six front mesh pockets through the ADC loop of the backpack and fasten it with a snap button" . Attachments tend to be complicated in this area, tend to sag easily, and often don't look very good, but this front pocket takes about 30 seconds to attach. It is designed to prevent luggage from accumulating at the bottom, and it looks as if it was there from the beginning, which is a very nice point. (Since it is made by the original company, it is natural to say that) You can change the flavor depending on the type and difficulty of the mountain climbing, and your mood, and you can easily attach and remove it even during climbing, so please try using it according to the situation.

The material is two layers of nylon mesh that has low water retention and dries quickly, allowing for rough use just like the "front mesh pocket". There is a "normal mesh" version with the same mesh (slightly lighter) as the side pockets of the "OGAWAND" backpack, and a "wide mesh" version with slightly larger mesh. If you want a uniform look with your backpack or don't want the contents to be too clearly visible, choose the "normal mesh", but if you prefer a rough, ultra-light (old garage brand) look, choose the "wide mesh". *2
