...... just thought I'd pass this on. I noticed that a few of you have the PLCE bergen or webtex copy. Here is something that i picked up a while back and thought you chaps might be interested too.
Basically it's a little method I use to store the side pockets when they arent in use. Here is what you do (I don't have my digital camera with me at the moment so I'll try and explain it in words ..... will try and post pics later):-
Is that too confusing?
I've done this for years having got fed up with the empty side pockets flapping around and getting caught on braches etc. At first I used to detach them and keep them in the top pocket/main body but having lost a couple whilst pulling things out in the middle of the night I was looking for a better way, a chum showed me this method.
This way the pockets lie flush with the side giving a "cleaner" appearance (which I prefer ) and are close/tight enough to a (relatively full) bergen that they don't get caught on branches etc. The clips haven't failed me yet so no more lost side pockets and you still have the option of opening them up should the need arise.
Hope that helps.

- Unzip the pockets from the bergen and lay them "flat back" down on the floor
- Fold the left and right zippered sides of the pocket into the center and then zip them together i.e zip the pocket "on itself" if you see what I mean (the actual pocket with zip opening will now be inside making a tube shape)
- Make sure the plastic clips at the top and the bottom of the pocket are sticking out
- You can now clip this onto the plastic clips on the side of the bergen
