I'm curious to see how people feel about hip belt pockets. In my circle of friends the verdict is quite mixed. I personally like them but some packs with looser zips on the belts seem to open by themselves. Which is what i rekon may lead to people not like them.
I've been wanting to get a more durable pack such as a macpac for the more scrubby bashes but I really like the convenience of stashing food and quick access items in the hipbelt. Is there any product out there that would allow hipbelt pockets to be attached or is there a better way?
