British Osprey Commanders' Admin pouch, MTP, surplus

Part of the British current-issue Osprey system in MTP camo, this Admin pouch is made for notepads or other flat items, and accessories. These are genuine army surplus pouches, tough quality, and is compatible with MOLLE gear.

The pouch is essentially a flat pocket with a velcro-covered front and a small pouch for a multi-tool, small bottle (anti-mosquito repellant, hand sanitizer...), or a motivational energy bar. Behind the two smaller front pouches is a full-sized slash pocket.

Made of 1000D Cordura.

Pockets and measurements

The largest pocket has a "when things fit perfectly together" kind of affair with the Särmä Wood Stove and the smaller ones can be used for a fire steel, tinder, and so on. The pocket has a handy pull tab for ease of opening.

The flatter front pocket has a base for patches, a dividing webbing on the inside, and elastic cord loops above. We suggest one for a chemlight and the other for a cigar in an aluminum tube.

The last of the pockets looks like a pistol mag pouch but isn't: it is clearly made for larger objects and offers poor retention for mags. Instead, we suggest a large multi-tool or small bottle: if the diameter is 40 mm (1.57") or a bit less, it fits nicely. The flap is adjustable and removable.

Attachment options

The back features standard PALS webbing, four columns wide. The pouch is directly compatible with any MOLLE gear, assault packs, and so on. A pouch this flat is quite handy on the belt as well, use two Single Column VFS MOLLE/PALS belt adapters to keep the pouch steady on your belt.
