Lash Points
What are lash points?
Lash points are designated attachment points on backpacks, typically consisting of reinforced loops, D-rings, or webbing tabs, designed for securing external gear. They allow hikers and backpackers to strap additional equipment like sleeping pads, trekking poles, or camp shoes to the outside of their pack using bungee cords, straps, or carabiners. These strategic attachment points help distribute weight and provide quick access to frequently used items while maintaining the pack's structural integrity during outdoor activities.
