Know before you buy
Yes, the Speed Stash is designed to attach to the shoulder strap of almost any backpack. Its proprietary attachment system secures firmly to the webbing, regardless of whether your pack has a sternum strap.
Absolutely. The attachment system is symmetrical, allowing you to install the pouch on whichever side you prefer for easier access.
The Speed Stash is made from 100D recycled nylon with a PU coating and a non-PFC DWR finish, making it highly water-resistant. While it will keep your essentials dry during light rain or mist, it is not fully submersible or waterproof.
The pouch measures 7 x 4 x 2 inches, which is sized to accommodate most modern smartphones, passports, and handheld GPS units. The front powermesh pocket provides additional space for smaller items like snacks or transit cards.
The proprietary attachment system is engineered to provide a stable, firm hold. By securing directly to the shoulder strap webbing, it minimizes movement and stays in place even when you are moving quickly.
