Why not hand sew some on as I did. You can decide on the size , type, position etc. This can also be done at the back for shoes etc. Works of art are not required!!Hello
I'm looking for a new backpack but I want one with side pockets and it seems they are hard to find. The one I have, a "Ferrino Durance 40", is ok but those side pockets take space from the inside so the more I but in them the smaller the space is inside the backpack.
Does anyone have a suggestion of another one that has the side pockets on the outside with their own space?
I've been looking at "Kelty Women's Redwing", anyone know how those pockets work?
regards
Annika
Adding pockets and/or zippers increases the weight of the actual pack.
It is often a choice you have to make regarding the balance between the "dead weight" of the pack and the convenience of the pockets.
Not always an easy decision.
Annika, I walked with the Osprey Kyte womens pack - mine was 46L, and they also come in 36L. I chose the pack because it came in an extra small back length, and I was having trouble finding anything that would fit me (I am 5'2"). It has elastic sidepockets, which are pretty deep, and I placed my water bottles, and sometimes my hat in them. They were pretty secure, so I didn't worry about losing anything, and they didn't impact the inside room. My pack also has two small zip pockets on the sides of the waistbelt, where I put my phone (you have to have a small phone - mine is Iphone 5s, but I don't think a 6/7 would fit), lip balm, kleenex, etc. that I would want handy. I could have walked easily with the 36L, but the place I was looking at had the 46L, but not the 36L at the time, and I wanted a pack that I could later use on longer hiking trips in the States. I just didn't fully load it.Hello

It might be possible to perceive that side pockets intrude into the interior space of an empty pack; however, I think it is prudent to load a pack and try it on before purchasing. You need to know how hit fits your body. I think the side pocket issue will resolve itself quickly.Actual side pockets do tend to intrude into the interior space.
Quite on the contrary as I know. Usually backpacks (at least all of climbing/high mountains packs) have side straps and pockets are added to the side using those straps. On the back there are straps and space for ice picks and similar. I guess you are referring to usual travellers backpacks?There are add-on pockets that attach to the ladders on packs, but they usually are designed for the back of the pack, not the side. Good luck looking!

Vaude, Osprey, Deuter are brands I know. Many of their backpacks have elastic pouches at their sides which do not increase the weight of the backpack at all. If the purpose of having side pockets is to carry a bottle of water, then go for it. It is very practical if you have a quick access to your bottle than if you have to unload your backpack to search for it. good luck
