Suur-kukkaro hip pack

The interior features a number of options for organizing your gear: three large elastic webbing loops, two small and one large flat compartment, tie-down loops and a loop surface for attaching hook-backed organizers.

The rear wall has a large flat compartment for larger items. On top of the compartment a single row of 50 mm elastic webbing is sewn, forming three ca. 8 cm wide loops, suitable for organizing smaller items.

The front wall has two small flat compartments, with tie-down loops on top. A 20 x 10 cm loop surface on the inside of the front all allows you attachment of all sorts of hook-backed organizers etc.

A large, open-ended flat compartment on the back of the pack allows you to stow the waist strap away if needed and can be used as a large belt loop if you want to carry the Suur-Kukkaro on a belt or the hip belt of a backpack.

PALS webbing on the side wings and bottom allows you to attach small pouches, elastic cords and accessories.

Pack attachment: The webbing loops on the top and the PALS webbing on the bottom can be used to quick-attach the pack to the side compression straps of a backpack by using additional SR buckles or G-hooks. No such buckles or G-hooks are included with the pack.

Learn Finnish with Savotta: ”Kukkaro” is Finnish for a bag or pouch which is sort of a purse, but not a purse, nor just any small bag either. The prefix “suur” means big. So “The big kukkaro”! How very clever of us.

The free Finnish online dictionary www.sanakirja.org defines ”kukkaro” as ”a small, commonly leather pouch or bag, in which one carries small necessities and accessories, such as cash, tobacco etc.”
