What simple improvements would you like to see made on outdoor gear?
(Please let's keep it basic, cheap, non electronic, and practicable, no "unobtainium" poles for a nano weight tent, or floating back packs.)
I'll start the ball rolling with a discrete outer pocket on a rucksack, with a security clip fitted inside, so that you are not rummaging inside the pack when you need your car keys or loose change. Yes, you can use a trouser or jacket pocket, I like all my every day stuff out of my pockets. The security clips on most packs, that I have seen, are inside a small pocket inside the main compartment.
I suppose an easy fix would be to get a clip then attach it with dyneema or something, attach it securely to the outside of the pack and then tuck the keys away in a water bottle pocket, but there must be a neater solution.
