For hikers who want to keep their pack organised and light, the 10L Side Entry Pod is a well-designed, durable option that makes on-trail access to essentials a breeze.
Hyperlite Mountain Gear says:
Since their release in 2016, our packing Pods have changed the way countless adventurers load up their kits for trips into the wild. The brilliant use of space, the added carry comfort, and the extra barrier of protection from the elements are features that sell themselves. Our Side Entry Pods take these qualities and up the ante with a roll-top opening for storing soft, compressible items like your sleep setup or clothing. Treat the squishy stuff to the same exceptional Pod-ness the rest of your other essentials enjoy!
Our Verdict
The Hyperlite Mountain Gear 10L Side Entry Pod is an innovative, streamlined packing solution for ultralight backpackers looking to maximise space and organisation. Its roll-top design allows easy compression and securely stows compressible gear, like clothing or a sleeping quilt, helping keep your pack tidy and efficient. Constructed with durable DCF11 fabric, the Pod is water-resistant and tough enough to handle the demands of long hikes while adding minimal weight—just 41 grams.
With taped interior seams for added water resistance and a structured roll-top for straightforward closure, this 10L Pod enhances load distribution, making it particularly effective for fitting into 40L or 55L packs.
