ABSTRACT:
A pocket closure and pack compression strap arrangement includes a pocket closure panel and a compression strap designed to extend across the internal storage volume of a pack. The pocket closure panel may be secured to a front panel of the pack or to a pocket panel forming an external pocket. The strap preferably includes a first portion secured to the pocket closure panel and a second portion secured to a back panel of the pack or to a portion of an internal or external frame. A latch or buckle allows the first and second portions of the strap to be secured to one another for closing the pocket and compressing a load packed in the internal storage space. The strap is drawn tight to maintain the pocket closed and the load compressed. The pocket closure panel is preferably secured to the pack along an attachment region that is wider than an attachment region along which the strap is secured to the pocket closure panel. Tensile forces resulting from compression of the load are thus transmitted to the pack over a region of the pack wider than the compression strap.
