They charged me $15 bux each for them. 4 x 15 = $60 bux extra.

I carry small stuff that I would like to get at without having to pull the bag apart to get to them. My tool kit, patch kit, etc.

They also come stock with the small pocket on the top of the bag as well.

There is one very large interior top load pocket where the zips open the bag right up, plus another pocket in front of that one. Then, there is also the mesh net pocket where you can keep stuff that might be a tad damp, such as a towel or the like.

I love em. If you would like to see pix, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.
