The beltpack, which may also be worn separately for shorter excursions, is comprised of three zippered compartments. The center compartment has two slip-in pockets, one for an 8" iPad mini, and the other for a cellphone, wallet, and other small items. Next to these pockets is room for a large point-and-shoot camera. Smaller side compartments, one on each side, are for sunglasses, energy bars, sunscreen, and other items you want to keep handy.
When you want to retrieve an item from the beltpack, simply reach back, lift the flap on the pack, and rotate the beltpack from back to front. Then unzip one of the compartments, and select what you need. When you're done, reverse the process, and continue on your way.
For comfort, the backpack features a breathable, padded harness with a removable and adjustable sternum strap. Closest to your back is a curved, thick, padded, nylon mesh for cushioning and wicking away moisture. Backpack stability, is buttressed by a single aluminum stay. When not worn, the backpack may be carried or hung by its top handle.
