- Discontinued product.








If you're looking for something else than the usual MOLLE-style pouch, here's a Danish water canteen / utility carrier of relatively recent produce with the British PLCE attachment system that works better with belts.
Don't let the modern looks fool you: the camo pattern is M84 and the pouch is from the '90s. That was a time before the MOLLE system was introduced and many countries had various systems in use, most commonly copies of the US ALICE or the British PLCE systems. This pouch has a standard PLCE attachment that works with many utility and duty belts, and the back has extra loops for other strapping ideas you might come up with.
The pouch is made of stupid-strong 1000D Cordura with a rubber-like coating inside, most likely PU. The lid features a small pocket for water purification tablets and the closure has a Spanish Tab system that is secure, fast, and silent. As an additional measure of security, the lid can be closed with hook-and-loop patches on the inside. A silencer tab can be folded in between to disable this feature.
On the inside, you'll find a divider for a folding stove but it's large enough to serve many other purposes. In case you don't use the full capacity of the pouch, there are webbing loops on the outside that you can use to lash the pouch into a smaller size with Paracord or elastic shock cord.

Danish surplus
These are unissued and so fresh it's hard to believe they are a couple of decades old. The coating isn't flaking and the metal pieces aren't corroded. The only signs of old age are the manufacturing dates and the obsolete PLCE attachment system.

The canteen pouch will fit a regular size canteen, with a matching cup and a hex stove.
This is a high quality item, for cheap! You’ll need a PLCE type belt and a yoke.

Sisämitat
leveys 14 cm (takaseinämän saumasta saumaan)
syvyys 9 cm (takaseinästä etupintaan)
korkeus 20 cm (pohjasta taskun suulle)
Britti-esikuvansa mukaisesti sisäpuolella vahvasti muovitettu kuitumatto (Etra myy vastaavaa nimellä Vinyplan) joka on hyvässä kunnossa.
Ulkopinnassa olevan Corduran kääntöpuolen polyuretaania ei ole paljaana kuin (Esbit-keittimelle tarkoitetun?) sisätaskun sisäpinnassa; osassa taskuista vähän tahmeutta muttei mitään käyttöä haittaavaa (jos ei aterimia ole sinne tunkemassa).
Kolmivärinen juuttien versio flecktarnista on väreiltään ja kuvioltaan sen verran lähellä M/05-kuviota ettei yhtä taskua heti huomaa joukosta poikkeavaksi.
PLCE-systeemin kiinnikkeet voi olla "deal breaker" monille, mutta jos omistaa joko brittivyön (jonka kanssa nuo kiinnikkeet toimivat loistavasti) tai jonkin vastaavan varustevyön, tahi sitten jykevän ompelukoneen (jolla vähän muokkaa kiinnikkeitä MOLLE-yhteensopivammiksi) niin erittäin suositeltava tuote.

If it's your idea, i tried to put it on a molle belt, i struggled a bit (it's not made for it).
Way better on load-bearing style belts.
I personally use it as a Jet-Boil pouch and i add two Fold-A-Cups, a spork and a sponge.
Nothing much to say, a cool pouch.

Lines is as follows:
1. Feldtflaskehylster ((Field canteen cover)) M(odel) 96
2. CQC (is the type of rubber coating used.) 1999 (year of production)
3. HMAK (Hærens Materielkommando, translated to Army Materiel Command)
Back in 2016 the Army Materiel Command got rid of 6600 units/20 europallets for 75.000.- dkk (10.076.- Euro) and of 2022 you will still get the pouches in the Danish Home Guard, so there is loads to be sold at a later point.
The Army Materiel Command in now defunked, restructured and renamed FMI (Forsvarsministeriets Materiel- og Indkøbsstyrelse/Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization)
The general pouch is called Udstyrstaske m/96 and follows the same naming scheme
It is a bit smaller and comes with a snowcover drawcord top.
