Work In Progress for a Camelbak TriZip beavertail
We recently completed a few custom made beavertail for Camelbak HAWG and TriZip. Essentially, the beavertail is sort of like a flap that attaches to the front of the pack. It enables additional carry options for the pack. The name ‘beavertail’ is a general term used to describe this ‘flap’ attachment but pack makers like Mystery Ranch has their own versions called ‘Stick It’ (though it seems they are no longer in production). Our customers who consists of motor-cross enthusiasts came to us with their own design for a few sets of beavertail for Camelbak HAWG and TriZip.
The most common 6 attachment points on a beavertail
The beavertail is a useful attachment for any pack. However, they are mostly applicable only on packs that are military orientated/ inspired. This is because the beavertail requires existing attachment points for it to work. Military type of packs are usually loaded with Molle attachment points and will have no issues getting a beavertail on. Modification in the form of adding attachment points may be necessary for the more common recreational packs.
