I feel like I have seen them before but can’t seem to remember who all makes them. I am looking for hipbelt pockets that go on a .75″ or 1″ webbing hip belt and have pads.

I know Zpacks makes them, but I am not crazy about their hipbelt pockets. They are a bit larger than most.

Thanks!

Are you looking for that much padding?  If you are currently just using 1″ webbing as a belt, I suspect you have a rather light pack.  Would 1/4″ 3d Spacer mesh provide enough cushion?

Most likely, yes. I was really just looking for a way to add pockets my webbing hipbelt and figured if they’re padded they could provide a little comfort as well.

I was originally thinking something similar to what the Patagonia Ascensionists packs have where it’s just a small/light pad except with a mesh pocket instead of a gear loop.

In my research though I found that Tom at Atom Packs makes a hipbelt pocket that’s padded on the back designed to work with a webbing belt which looks like a good option. The problem being that with the USD conversion and shipping they would not be cheap.

But ive also just realized I could always use my fanny pack on my webbing hipbelt if I wanted to just gain some storage on my hips.
