FAQs
What size smartphone can fit inside?
The main compartment is approximately 6.7 inches long and 4.3 inches wide. Most standard and many larger smartphones will fit, but it's best to measure your device against these dimensions.
Is the pouch waterproof?
The pouch is constructed from durable nylon and features a YKK zipper, offering good resistance to the elements. However, it is not fully waterproof. The drainage eyelet also means water can escape. For full waterproofing, consider using a dry bag inside.
Can I attach this to a regular backpack?
Yes, if your backpack has PALS/MOLLE webbing. If not, you may need to use additional straps or a MOLLE panel adapter to attach it securely.
What is the purpose of the front pocket elastic slots?
The elastic slots and drawstring in the front pocket are designed to hold smaller items like pens, tools, batteries, or cables securely and prevent them from shifting around.
What is the weight of the pouch?
The Helikon Navtel Pouch weighs approximately 130g.
What is the total storage capacity?
The total storage capacity of the pouch is 0.5 Liters.
Can I remove the ID patch panel?
The hook and fleece panel is permanently attached to the front of the pouch.
Troubleshooting
Pouch feels loose on gear
Re-thread the PALS/MOLLE straps, ensuring they are pulled tight against the webbing. Consider using a strap or zip tie to secure the bottom of the pouch if excessive movement persists.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Check for any fabric or debris caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track, then work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.
Water pooling inside the main compartment
Ensure the drainage eyelet at the bottom of the pouch is clear and not blocked by debris. If the pouch is used in very wet conditions, consider additional waterproofing for sensitive contents.
