Outer (front) stretch pocket

Ranked #7 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
May 22, 2011
As you can see, the fabric is very stretchy. I used 2 32oz bottles for example. Do to the new linelock compression straps that go across this pocket, I am no longer able to strap my z-rest here vertically. On the Nimbus Ozone and the Vapor Flash, this was the perfect place for attaching it. The linelocks apparently cannot be quickly removed and re-attached easily.

Can't you put longer length para cord in there in order to strap in the pad on the front? On my nimbus ozone and vapor trail I always carried it that way.
