Jet boil pouch

[jacko1066]

Hi Guys,

This is a question really for all you Jet boil owners out there.

Recently got a Jetboil in a trade on here, I have been using it a lo since I have got it, but find it a bit of a faff to carry around without a rucksack

I am after a bag to carry it in, the perfect bag is the maxpedition 12x5, but its extremely expensive!!

The bag or pouch I would like would be similar to that, be able to be used on its own for when we take it out on picnics, but also be able to fit it to my bag maybe with molle etc.

I would also want it to have a zip top so I can close it off, I did get recommended to me to use neoprene but its not really my cup of tea.

I have seen that you can squeeze it into the 10x4 but it does look blooming tight!!

I no its incredibally popular in the army now so I thought it may be worth a question on here.

So what do you guys use?

Cheers
Steve

Mine is in a Maxp 12x5 but the 10x4 is ok for them. The only bit that is tight is the lid with it being a little bigger than the jetboil pot. If you have a Maxp 10x4 I would swap you for my 12x5.

I carry mine in a molle utility / water bottle pouch...

Just a thought but would it fit in the waterbottle pouch you get with the crusader cook set.

Sure it does, I borrowed one for a long wet week. Although it did bounce between daysack and webbing.

Sorry Johnny but I have not got one mate, if I did get one I would get a cheap clone lol.
If you decide to sell the 12x5 I may be interested though mate.

Cheers for the replys chaps, yeah I have got the water bottle pouch, but like I said I want something that zips up round the top.

Iv done loads of different google searches and came up with nothing which is a suprise!!

I guess if all else fails then the maxp clone is the way forward!!

This might be worth having a peep at: http://soloint.co.uk/Pouches/Green/Hydration-Pouches/WATER-BOTTLE-POUCH-GREEN.html

See thats very odd as it says that pouch is smaller than the maxp 10 x 4!!

Back in my army days, not too long ago we used to carry them in our utility pouches. You'd be hard pressed to find a zip one I'm sure BCB used to do a SRB version.

Have you seen these? LINK.

They'd let the rain in. No good to the British squaddie. Nice idea though.

True, hadn't thought of that. These also seemingly fit the Jetboil. LINK

Much better. And think how much brew kit would go in that pouch.

Ive seen various zip up neoprene jobbies (try mothercare) not sure on sizing though.

Yeah they are the maxpedition clones I was referring to earlier mate.

I think I may go with one of those.

I spoke with the seller of these clones and he assures me that my Jetboil Flash will fit inside, so I've ordered an OD and a tan one.

Forgot to add that as I probably wouldn't have thought about getting one if I hadn't read this thread

That's brilliant!!!

Thanks for that!!

Iv found these by condor - http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=271241539574

A bit more expensive than those you found but they are in this country and will be here before my birthday next week lol
