VestPac Gadget/Hydration Pack

VestPac in Jackson Hole, Wyoming have designed a wearable over-the-head on the chest organizer that holds all your gear in a vest with vinyl and locking pockets strapped securely and comfortably under your outer jacket. All this with a hydration bladder designed into the back panel.

If, like me, you ski or ride and carry a scannable ski pass, cell phone, iPod, credit card, cash or wallet, keys, a point and shoot camera, and maybe a Flip camera, then you will appreciate the Vest pac Gadget/Hydration Pack.

Think about the times you go searching for the digital camera or the Flip video camera when you can't remember what pocket you put them in - one of the 5 or so in the outer shell, or was it in the midlayer or maybe in your pant pocket? How about riding the lift and wondering if you zipped the pocket after putting your credit card and cash away or finding that ringing cell phone?

VestPac Gadget/Hydration Pack Features

VestPac makes several models all with the rear hydration panel. I find the GranitePac model to have the features best suited for snowsports:

• 15.9 Ounces, 12 inches long by 12 inches wide by 6 inches deep
• Neoprene and 3-D Airmesh construction
• Two pockets with cinch flaps
• Two Velcro locking pockets
• Two See-Through Vinyl pockets
• Hydration panel with reservoir
• Four adjustable straps
• Available in six colors

Organization and security means worry free skiing or riding and I've tried a few different methods. Back packs - I don't usually carry enough to warrant a backpack and they can get caught on chairs. Small external backpacks with a hydration bladder have frozen on me and I'm afraid of losing a fanny pack.
