Two large, zippered mesh lat pockets gobble up a ton of gear and have stash space wedged in behind them. On the chest portion of the harness there are twin water bottle pockets which conveniently secure two 20 oz Bottles with Kicker Valves included. These iconic bottles provide efficient, leakproof performance and have long been a go to option for trail runners.Based on Scott's countless hours spent in the backcountry, intuitively placed pockets abound on the front portion of the pack, serving as ideal stow options for gels, electrolytes, cell phones and other essentials. Cinch down features on the water bottle pockets also allow them to safely stash cameras and other electronics.
