The Fuse Solar Charger is designed to, well, fuse to nearly any object. Below are three ways to connect it securely to a backpack including a technical hiking bag and a military bag.
The Technical Backpack: Voltaic attached both pieces of 1 inch webbing at the bottom of the Fuse and threaded the 3/4″ webbing across the top as in the picture below. Voltaic then attached the female end of the clips at several attachment points on the bag and then simply clipped in.
The Military Bag (Molle): Voltaic Systems attached both pieces of the 1 inch webbing at the top of the Fuse and removed the male 1 inch clips from the end of the webbing. Voltaic attached the female 1 inch clips at the bottom of the case, then wove the webbing through the Molle strapping, re-attached the male 1 inch clips and then clipped into the bag. Pulling hard on the straps secured it tight to the bag.
The Basic Backpack: Voltaic Systems created a loop out of the 3/4 inch webbing and threaded it through the top of the Fuse to attach to the top handle of the backpack. They then attached the 1 inch webbing to the bottom of the fuse with the male 1 inch clips at the end. Finally, Voltaic attached the female 1 inch clips to the bottom of the shoulder straps and clipped in.
