DIMS: Internal dims 2.25” W x 1.25” D; height adjustable between 4” to 5”

This lil pouch is simple, but fills one of those many tactical item needs. Hence the long name it will hold a good assortment of small gadgetry which includes:
- MS-2000 and SDU-5E military strobes
- Garmin Etrex and other small handheld GPS’s
- Lensatic compass or similar

More treats from ze Germans offer up another variant of the popular modular chest rig design. PALS sizing is a solid 18 channels x 3 rows, but it should be noted the channel spacing is out of spec and closer to 1.25" wide rather than 1.5". I'll guess this is due to SIERRA 313 using MALICE clips for all PALS attaching so less room is needed. For those with tradition Natick snap pouches you likely will need to use tools to mount as the snaps are bulkier.

DIMS: 3.75" x 7.5" x 3"

For those into simple designs this is a regulation style mag pouch for ze Germans. The connection points of two G36 mags require the need for all of the 3 inches of depth you see in this pouch. NATO mag users can take advantage of this aspect and can ram in 3 magazines easy. To keep out debris the flap is a full cover style which is nice for protection. The front and back sides of the interior have plastic stiffener to keep proper shape and add durability. To mount, the back has PALS webbing setup to interface with long MALICE clips. Making it unique to most of us SRB whores, the main security hardware is a "Spanish" style clip. It is hard to explain so be sure and view the pics. The Spanish style works quite well as a quick release only requiring one motion of pulling the webbing slack. The down side would be the Spanish style isn't as easy as other methods to resecure. No elastic is on the sides, so keep this in mind when placing 2 NATO mags inside that won't fully fill the pouch. All the materials are mil spec making this pouch feel nice and heavy duty.

If you have an old medic or demo pouch you wish was tear-away capable, then this panel is for you. The foundation is simple mostly consisting of a PALS webbing party and velcro. 5" TacTies or similar connection systems can be used to attach, however keep in mind shorter ones are fine to use for the pouch connection as well. Just in case you are still confused the idea is to attach the non-handle side to a platform such as a vest or pack. The pouch is then mounted to the panel piece with the handle and they connect with hook and loop. To further secure, a strap with an SRB is also supplied. As a small note, mine came in an odd configuration and I had to move the strap around to get it as shown. So come business time you can release the SRB and literally tear off the pouch. Functionality wise you will need to keep an eye on the strap and SRB while doing a quick tear as it can hang up on the handle. A possible improvement might be to widen up the handle sew down points to make for a larger pass through hole. A great example of a use for this panel would be putting it on the Maxpedition Merlin, yet is great for anything you need to with tear off capability.

This lil pouch is no thrills, but will hold surgical gloves as promised like a champion. The main flap pull tab points up for easy opening. On the back is a set of PALS webbing to accept 3" TacTies or similar connection systems. On the inside are 2 main sleeve pockets for gloves and each of these pockets have a slim divider inside for separation options. The pouch can easily hold 4 pairs of gloves, but more can be rammed in if packed carefully.

DIMS: 5” x 7” x 0.75”

As you may guess from the name, this pouch is made with the intent to put in your pocket, yet also has other great functionality options. The size will fit in most cargo pant pockets thus easily fits in medium and larger packs for small item organization. To give even further options there is PALS webbing on the back which works with 3" TacTies or similar connection systems. This allows mounting to the exterior of larger packs which can be quite handy. A beefy handle is incorporated for easy retrieval when inside packs or pockets.

This pouch is a handy way to carry the classic 1 quart USGI canteens which can be purchased on the cheap at surplus stores. To clarify, the canteen is not included. The back has a full set of PALS webbing to work with 5" Tac Ties or similar attachment systems. As an improvement to older designs, the bottom is mesh to allow easy drainage. Another solid feature is the SRB (buckle) female end is mounted directly to the pouch so it will always be in the same place. Since the cap holder protrudes from the cap, it may require some effort to release the canteen from the Y-shapped flap. Having the cap connector face forward helps this issue, otherwise just be aggressive with the flap and you will be fine. The main down side I had with my testing was that the flap tension was non adjustable, this is an issue since the flap was not tight enough to firmly secure my canteen. It was by no means going to come out of the pouch, however the canteen slightly bounces around during heavy movement.
