Know before you buy
No, the Shadow Pockets feature a slick, minimalist design and do not include MOLLE attachments. They are designed to sit loosely inside your bag rather than being strapped to the exterior.
The 2L size is typically sufficient for smaller cables and chargers, while the 3L or 4L sizes are better suited for larger items like bulky power banks, hard drives, or full-sized wall adapters.
500D Cordura is a high-tenacity nylon fabric known for its excellent abrasion and tear resistance. It is rugged enough to handle the wear and tear of frequent travel and daily commuting without fraying or puncturing.
While the 500D Cordura is inherently durable and can withstand light moisture, the pouches are not fully waterproof. The zipper closure is not sealed, so they should not be submerged or exposed to heavy, prolonged rain.
Yes, the integrated webbing handle is designed to make it easy to grab the pouch from the bottom of a rucksack or carry it independently between meetings or travel terminals.
