Wisport Raccoon 9L Side Pocket — RAL7013

The Raccoon 9L Side Pocket is an expandable side pouch with a 9-litre capacity, designed by Wisport to pair with their own pack line and with any rucksack featuring a MOLLE/PALS system. Measuring 35x18x14 cm, it adds meaningful volume without upsetting load balance, and can equally be mounted on plate carriers and tactical vests with a MOLLE interface.

Closure combines a rigid plastic buckle with an internal drawcord: the buckle keeps contents secure during sudden movement and prevents accidental opening, while the drawcord allows further organisation inside and reduces shifting of smaller items. This dual-retention approach is more secure than a simple elasticated opening, but requires two steps to access the contents — something to factor in when planning your load if speed of access under pressure is a priority.

Stated compatibility includes the Wisport Raccoon 65, Raccoon 85, Wildcat, Sparrow 30 and Silver Fox packs, as well as all standard MOLLE systems: the pouch attaches via PALS loops and stays stable even at full load. The RAL7013 colourway — a flat olive-grey — works with the camouflage standards used by European armed forces and suits woodland and semi-arid environments typical of hunting and professional field use.

Key points

• The 9 litres of additional volume allow frequently accessed gear to be separated from the main pack contents, cutting search time under stress.
• The MOLLE/PALS attachment system ensures compatibility with most tactical packs and vests on the market, not just Wisport models.
• Dual retention — rigid buckle and internal drawcord — keeps contents secure over rough terrain, unlike a simple open-top design.
• At 35x18x14 cm, it is sized to hold first-aid kits, navigation gear, rations or spare clothing in a compact configuration.
• RAL7013 is compatible with NATO camouflage standards common across Europe, useful in professional and hunting contexts.
