This wide buddy here is a variant on the original Monkey admin. The layout is similar except the map pocket has been taken out and the overall width is now 9" wide.
With a generous amount of loop velcro on the front, this allows large patch placement such as designs Law Enforcement use. The main compartment has a sleeve pocket on the interior back and the elastic on both sides now has a larger division for more holding options. The middle pocket is the high security pocket fully sealed with velcro closure. Staggered pull tabs assist in opening this area. Most items will be plenty secure anywhere in the pouch, but this pocket allow smaller items to be contained with confidence. Moving forward is the frontal pocket which has elastic on the back side divided 4 times fairly evenly spaced. The back has larger than spec PALS channels to allow mounting fudging using 2 long Malice clips. If desired, more clips can be used to give a tighter mount.
With the size increase this admin is now able to hold longer items such as notebooks and screwdrivers or alternatively, a crapload of multi-tool sized items. If one generally keeps flat things inside it can work well upper chest mounted. When using a rifle the stock would go on the pouch rather than beside it. Considering you will need buddy assistance, it can also work well as a team organizer mounted on the back of a vest. For those with larger packs, the wideload admin works great as an external organizer. One can leave the big stuff inside the pack and have quick access to smaller tools and gadgets in the wideload. Although the size will limit where this pouch can go, I think there will be some folks out there pleased to have the wideload as an option for their larger kit.
