Overview

UnSlack Pack was designed to solve the problem of how to carry a lightweight camera conveniently and securely during outdoor pursuits like backpacking, climbing, or skiing. Stored in the backpack itself, a camera is out of reach, and traditional methods of front-mounting are often inadequate: torso or fanny packs can be uncomfortable to wear, and aftermarket hipbelt cases can bounce around, even though they may be designed to fit the camera itself like a glove. Further, hipbelt cases require the use of the hipbelt, which may not always be desirable or available.

The solution was a product that would attach instead to a backpack's shoulder strap, holding the camera close at hand yet off the body, and without compromising the wearer's comfort or restricting movement. It needed to stay put, without wobbling around or slipping down the shoulder strap. And the product had to retain its contents, and to hold them motionless during vigorous activities like running, downhill trekking, or stream fording. Even better if it could weigh only about an ounce!

We're pleased to report that such a product is now available as the UnSlack Pack, and after several thousand miles of wear-testing on the long trails we can say confidently that the product does what it should and does it well. UnSlack Pack will hold a camera at-the-ready, yet you won't even sense it's there. It will hold most sizes of lightweight, compact cameras, all securely and motion-free. And it is sized to hold other handy items as well, including small electronics like a GPS or iPOD, a map or trail guide, and more. And the front mesh pocket is perfect for an energy bar, lip balm or compact headlamp.

Fast, secure mounting system

• Velcro, elastic cord & cordlock compression - wraps around the full circumference of a shoulder strap, keeping both UnSlack Pack and its contents stable and motion-free.
• Innovative "sliding loop" top mount can be raised or lowered on the shoulder strap for a perfect fit. Cinch-able webbing loop with side-release buckle offers slip-free attachment to your backpack's load lifters, around the shoulder strap itself, through daisy-chain style webbing, a D-ring, or elsewhere.
• Bottom webbing loop - serves as a keeper for the elastic cord, and as an optional utility loop.
• Fast installation and removal lets you move UnSlack Pack easily from one backpack to another without having to undo the shoulder straps.
  
• Alternative mounting options - If preferred, UnSlack Pack can be worn instead on a hipbelt, positioned horizontally rather than vertically. UnSlack Pack also makes a great, full-featured stowbag for carrying inside the backpack itself. Or, attach a cord to its pull loop and wear it around the neck, beneath a shirt, for securely carrying small essentials like a LiteFOLD wallet, keys, or a passport.
