Mesh Sack 5

The Deuter Mesh Sack 5 is a small, see-through packing bag that brings order to the inside of a pack. Socks in one, toiletries in another, and you find what you need at camp without tipping everything onto the tent floor.

What it is

A 5 litre mesh sack with a drawcord and stopper closure, weighing 20 g.

Who it's for

Hikers, travellers and campers who live out of a pack for days at a time: walkers on the Larapinta sorting clothes from food, backpackers keeping a hostel locker tidy, or anyone who wants the damp swimmers apart from the dry clothes. The open mesh lets air through, which is exactly what you want for clothes and gear that need to breathe, and the right choice when you can see the contents at a glance.

Key details

5 litres takes a few days of socks and underwear, a light fleece, or a wash kit and towel. The mesh packs down small when empty, and the base is a dirt-resistant fabric that keeps dirt and moisture off the contents when you set it down on a hut floor or wet ground. Two loops let you hang it from a tent pocket or a hook to air out, and a handle on the base lets you pull it from the bottom of a stuffed pack.
