I like and use my other 2 size 2 HLT that I bought another one to match my new backpack. I’m repeating myself because I also just reviewed the HLT 1. There is nothing about this little thing that I don’t like. It will attach to any thing in numerous ways. Since it attaches so easily to the rail loops I can attach it above the elastic pocket of my S30 and still easily get to the o-rings. You can see from my photos below it looks like it was just made for the S30, especially when also attached to an HLT1. I’m aware the rail system was developed to make it easy to slide a laptop in a cache but its great for almost anything. I like to wrap a coil around the elastic loop along with my DPNs to keep them secure when the pack is open. Those little things like to slip away.

- DADavid A B.Verified BuyerBought For MyselfProduct Standouts Thoughtful Design, High Quality Craftsmanship, Unique, Versatile, Comfortable2 years agoBought For MyselfProduct Standouts Thoughtful Design, High Quality Craftsmanship, Unique, Versatile, ComfortableRated 4 out of 5 starsI'm going to end up buying 3 or 4 more of these.
I am:
1. A person of many different interests, most of which involve the manipulation of material using tools that fit in the human hand.
2. A person that struggles with a compulsive determination to be prepared to meaningfully engage in any or all of these interests with little to no warning and at any given time.
3. Pathologically disorganized.
When combined, these three characteristics alone mean that I live in a state of chronic low grade panic caused by the perpetual anticipation of multiple rapidly approaching, inevitable and mutually reenforcing catastrophes due to the firm conviction that I have misplaced some essential mundanity, the absence of which will mean certain doom to myself and my loved ones.
Well, a week after it arrived, a single instance of this bag has fixed that.
Lately I have been staying with a family member and helping them cope with some health issues. We're way out in the country, far away from my urban nest. Even with all of the chaotic to and fro that this sort of thing entails, not once have I misplaced my keys, or my wallet, or my flashlight, or my other flashlight, or my multitool, or my little pocket knife (I know), or my little fine diamond plate (yes, I know), or my phone and accompanying infrastructure, or my little vial of sentimental lake water, or my pencil and its sharpener and notebook and eraser, or their keys, or their wallet, or their flashlight, etc etc etc and so on and so on and so on.
To the extent that I understand it,…

I PACK this HLT2 like my life depends on it and this pouch just handles it all. Emergency bits (bandaids, mini sewing kit, menstrual products, floss, eyedrops, etc), hard candies, writing items (sharpener, whiteout, 3 pens, pencils), wallet, lip balm, hand lotion, tissues, and miraculously Midori travelers notebook standard size. The TN is a tight fit, I have to tuck in the corners and hold the zipper in place .
- TDTom D.Verified BuyerBought For MyselfProduct Standouts Thoughtful Design, Sewn in USA, Versatile, Unique, Good Storage Size1 year agoBought For MyselfProduct Standouts Thoughtful Design, Sewn in USA, Versatile, Unique, Good Storage SizeRated 5 out of 5 starsNot just for airplane seat pocket
This is the solution to having too little space in the airplane seat pocket. It also clips on the magazine tray of a bulkhead when there is no seat pocket. It saves the time and hassle of moving items from your backpack into and out of the seat pocket. It is easier to retrieve items than digging them out of the seat pocket. Seat pockets already have literature in them, they are skinny, and sometimes as on my last trip they have holes in their bottoms. Just as usefully, I prep by packing the HLT inside my Sunik 30 by clipping it onto the Synik’s top front rings or web loops. I slide my Synik onto the handle of my rolling carryon bag. When sitting in the airport with that combo facing me, handle, I partially unzip the top of the backpack, flip the HLT out to face me, and unzip it. I have easy access to items such as hand sanitizer, sticky notes, pens, charger block, and charger cables.
