Dana Designs makes a "Wet Rib" and "Dry Rib" that attaches to your pack and
snaps together just above the hip belt.  Each has zippered pockets, one holds
a water bottle, they will fit to any pack I believe.  You can also get a left
and a right that snap together.  Easily accessible, they're great for carrying
a camera, snacks, maps, guidebooks, etc.
