Hipbelt Pockets

[Ferrulewax]

Looking for suggestions for some lightweight hipbelt pockets to fit on a Kifaru hipbelt/Molle. I'm not planning to blow 100$ on the kifaru ones. I had planned to get zimmerbuilt to custom make me some in Xpac but haven't been able to get in touch with him. Seeing if anyone has any other ideas. Looking for something in Xpac around 7x5x2" give or take

Maybe not what you are thinking...but how about some mil surplus pocket / pouches?

I’m just not looking for the weight of a cordura pocket. Looking for a simpler lighter solution. I would also prefer a more streamlined attachment than molle- but not mandatory. (slik clips or kifaru style sliders)

Have you inquired with rugged stitching, @pods8?

Looked at these, any idea how they’d fit a non SO hipbelt? The elastic around the belt looks like it may be a problem on the kifaru hipbelt

What's loose diameter of the padding?

The elastic is very stretchy.

What about Kuiu Hip Belt Pouches? They are on sale now for $14 for two pouches.

I've got a SO pack with one of their pockets. I'm relatively happy with the pocket but wish they'd ditch the waterproof double zip. I have to use both hands to open and close it and when I'm out in heavy rain the pocket still fills with water. If I could design my own I'd have a single standard zip with a drain hole in the bottom of the pocket and I'd just accept that whatever is in there will get wet. If your pack doesn't have the MOLLE webbing stitched in the the SO pocket won't work either.

Marsupial gear pouches work great.

Call them, there's something wrong with your zipper. Ours open easy and are water tight when zipped.

Which Kifaru pocket would you want? Price notwithstanding. Pick one up used. Which color? I have a few in Ranger green (Small and med belt pouch and a gen 2 mini belt pouch).

I finally got in touch with Zimmerbuilt so I’m going to go that direction. I appreciate it!

Have you looked into some of the pouches used by saddle hunters? They always seems to have really lightweight options and several smallish vendors/startups are making gear.

Thanks for the marsupial link. I have hill people gear but couldn’t find a bird bag option. Much appreciated

I have not, good option though. I ended up getting the zimmerbuilt pockets. Not a *perfect* fit, but should work just fine. If I had a larger hip belt with one more column of molle it would be great. Thanks everyone!

I grabbed a pair of these for my mystery ranch pack. They’re larger than the MR pockets, lighter, and just overall much nicer with the overstuff fabric. thanks.

I bought a 2 pack on Amazon, came in multi cam, pretty basic but do have a dual zipper and Molle attachments. I transfer them from different set ups all the time.

x2 for the Marsupial pouches. Love the stretch pouches, but don’t overlook the shotgun shell pouches. That’s what I’ll be using this fall, I like the structure of them.
