Mesh chest pouch/pack

This is just a random idea, but what about seeing if Zpacks would make you a version of their multipack out of bugnetting material?

Zpacks Multipack

Something like these?

Not all mesh but I really like how this pouch was modified for fishing; I'd like to pick one up before spring.

What you're describing, OP, is the internal mesh sack that came with my ULA Catalyst…

I'm sure Zpacks, ULA, or Zimmerbuilt could supply something. If you need something off-the-shelf, these might be made to work:

They come in 4 sizes, and they're on Amazon for $7.50:

They have a couple of loops up top…quick work with some cord should do it.

1-3oz.

I forget where I read this, but there was a trip report of a winter adventure race where they used reversible sports pennies like this:

There are two layers of mesh, so it was pretty easy to cut/sew to make pockets in the desired places. They ended up with something to wear under all layers, supported by fabric that didn't interfere with pack straps or hip belt. Pockets were placed between hip belt and sternum strap. They kept snacks/gloves/fuel/water inside.

The pockets on my Rab Alpine Pull-on are mesh and at the right height to function essentially the same way. I like it, but a little more space might be nice.
