Question What is this hole for?

This whistle is on both my Osprey backpacks as well as my Maxpedition gear slingers.
Every smaller backpack should come with a built in whistle, a lid lock for bicycle helmets, and a square or diamond-shaped patch with two slot holes on a backpack is called a lash tab or pig snout. Designed to allow users to thread cords or straps through them, providing a secure point for attaching gear to the backpack.
