Excellent quality side pouches which I own multiple sizes and colours of. The 8L pouches are fairly large and they only just fit onto my savotta jaakari L the 6L would maybe be a better option on this pack but I wanted as much space as possible to store my airsoft kit. I recommend adding a little bit of paracord to the zippers so its easier to find them as they do tend to get tucked in behind the fabric.
Savotta Side Pouch 8 l - Green
Green side pocket with a capacity of 6 liters, made from durable Cordura 500D, valued for its high resistance to damage and abrasion. The bottom and sides of the pocket are additionally reinforced, increasing durability during field use. The materials used meet NIR (Near Infrared) requirements, meaning reduced visibility in the infrared spectrum. Secured with a zipper that ensures easy access to the contents.
Covered zip, vertical stabilising strip
Covered zipper provides additional protection against moisture, dirt, and abrasion. A vertical strap on the front keeps the backpack’s compression straps in the correct position, enabling their effective operation when reducing the load volume. The design is complemented by a drain hole at the bottom, which allows water and debris to be expelled in field conditions.
25 mm tape loop, D-ring
A 25 mm strap loop and a D-ring are located at the top of the rear inner wall to secure small and valuable items. The flat rear compartment makes it easy to organise smaller items.
A PALS attachment system with tabs is located at the rear.

Savotta is a Finnish family company from Karstula which, since 1955, has been designing and manufacturing backpacks, bags, tents and field kit for the military, rescue services and people who value time in the field. The brand's kit has been supplied to the Finnish Defence Forces continuously since the 1960s, meeting the rigorous standards required of military equipment. Savotta builds its products with durability in mind, which is why it uses top-tier materials such as Cordura, and almost all raw materials (97%) come from suppliers within the European Union. The brand also stands out for its own proprietary solutions: the Rapid Adjustment Slider instant adjustment system, frames made from polyethylene sheets and laser-cut PALS/MOLLE-compatible attachment points. Every design is created in Finland, and all manufacturing remains within the borders of the European Union. Along with growing interest, the brand expanded production - since 2025 its products have been made in three countries: Finland, Estonia and Poland. Regardless of where a given item was manufactured, it undergoes final quality control at the Finnish headquarters in Karstula.

Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is a modular mounting system for pockets and pouches, used in the MOLLE system. It consists of horizontally sewn rows of 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide, fixed spacing webbing (such as on a backpack) and vertical webbing for attachment and threading (on a pocket). This system is usually equipped with snaps, which further secures the pinned items.
