Today, I received two of the new and improved hipbelt pockets. They will go on my gray (X21) Gila and they were ordered in SpectraGrid. The first thing I noticed is how lightweight they are.
I just finished installing on the hipbelt and it was very easy. They don't move around at all and can be installed in various locations on the hipbelt. I installed the left side as far forward as possible and the right one about 1 1/4" farther back. I'll be hiking tomorrow and will report on which location on the hipbelt works best for me.
I also have on my Fortress 6,300 the larger halfmoon-style hipbelt pockets SO has had for a while. They hold more but I think the new designed pockets will be much easier to access. For comparative purposes, I've included a picture showing the older-style pocket as well.
