A sacoche is an indispensable tool for an ultralight hiker. Low-profile, lightweight and hands-free, they’re the perfect way to keep tickets, snacks and maps close by and cut-down on endless rucksack faffage. As you’d expect, Yamatomichi’s version is exceptional. Originally designed after a trek on the John Muir Trail in 2010, it’s a masterpiece of form and function, just the right size, with a wide opening for easy access, and a handy adjustable strap to keep it close to your body. This will get a lot of use.
