DSPTCH Unit Vertical Pouch

In a market flooded with enthusiast-grade crossbody EDC slings and fanny pack favorites, it’s always nice to try a fresh take on the conventional formula, or in this case, orientation. The Unit Vertical Pouch is the latest iteration of DSPTCH’s unique, holster-like sling, which sits upright on your chest (think of half a vest) and secured by a 3-way harness and stabilizing strap with . It’s a really interesting take on the holster/crossbody/chest rig style for slings, and one DSPTCH has been iterating for years until this newest version which is designed to carry light and sit at a low profile that can fit comfortably under a jacket. The sling itself sticks to simple and efficient basics: a symmetrical back and front drop-in pocket (allowing ambidextrous configuration), and a single YKK AquaGuard zipper for its main compartment. There’s a little under 1L of room (so stick to the essentials), including a suspended mesh pocket to separate your phone from your other gear, and a simple key leash for the dangly stuff. True to DSPTCH’s technical leanings, the Unit Vertical Pouch comes in the latest and greatest material fabrics, including 420D Robic nylon, EPX200 ECOPAK with mixed colors, and a 5 oz Dyneema option.
