The Bang Bag Zipper Insert is a modular accessory designed to upgrade the rear external pouch on your Mountain Partisan Bang Bag. This insert transforms the open rear pocket into a secure, enclosable compartment with a water-resistant zipper, providing enhanced protection for valuables, electronics, or sensitive gear during outdoor adventures and tactical applications.
What Is the Bang Bag Zipper Insert?
The Zipper Insert is a drop-in accessory that attaches to the rear external pouch of the Bang Bag using hook Velcro on both sides. Once installed, it converts the standard open pocket into a fully enclosed, zippered compartment - ideal for securing items that need protection from weather, theft, or accidental loss during movement.

What Is an HHH Zipper?
HHH (Heavy-Duty, High-Performance, Hydrophobic) zippers are specialized closures designed for tactical and outdoor gear. These water-resistant zippers feature robust construction with coated teeth and tape that repel moisture, making them ideal for protecting gear contents from rain, snow, and humid environments. HHH zippers are commonly used in military equipment, outdoor backpacks, and professional tactical gear where reliability in harsh conditions is essential.
Why Upgrade to the Zipper Insert?
The standard Bang Bag rear pouch is an open-top pocket ideal for quick-access items. However, certain scenarios benefit from secure, enclosed storage:
- Weather Protection: Shield electronics, documents, or moisture-sensitive items from rain and humidity
- Security: Prevent items from falling out during active movement or while traversing rough terrain
- Privacy: Keep contents concealed from view in urban or crowded environments
- Organization: Separate secured items from quick-access gear in main compartment
- Peace of Mind: Confidence that critical items won't be lost during dynamic activities
Common Uses & Applications
- Electronics Storage: Phones, GPS units, power banks, or other moisture-sensitive devices
- Document Protection: Maps, permits, identification, or important papers
- Valuables Security: Wallets, keys, or small high-value items
- Medical Supplies: First aid items that need protection from contamination
- Ammunition Storage: Loose rounds or small boxes (when not using magazine inserts)
- Snacks & Food: Keep trail food sealed and protected from moisture
Who Should Buy the Zipper Insert?
- Bang Bag owners who frequently carry electronics or valuables
- Hikers and outdoor enthusiasts in wet climates
- Urban commuters needing secure storage for phones and wallets
- Tactical users requiring weather-sealed equipment storage
- Anyone seeking to maximize the versatility of their Bang Bag
