Large, straightforward boxy lidded general purpose pouch with SR buckle closure and snow collar. PALS and belt compatible attachment system. The 4x5 in the name refers to the PALS attachment footprint, four channels wide, five rows tall.
Our simple lidded general purpose pouches are best suited for bulkier items, as opposed to our zipped GP pouches which offer a lot of internal organization options for various small items. The lid and snow collar allow you to overpack the pouch a bit when needed.
The lid covers the top and sides of the pouch and the snow collar offers added protection and security when carrying smaller items. The webbing to which the male SR buckle is attached is bartacked to the pouch body, forming loops through which you can thread an elastic cord for compression. At the very bottom is a drainage grommet to let water out.
The rear features our standard PALS attachment webbing system with tuck tabs. Attaches to four channels and five rows of PALS webbing. The attachment straps can also be woven into belt loops for 45-50 mm wide belts.
Fits all sorts of stuff
Due to its shape and size, the 4x5 works well as a buttpack on a belt, or side/back pouch on a backpack. This is a general purpose utility pouch, you know best what you want and need to carry in it, but here are some inspirational examples:
- Wet or cold weather clothing
- A wide 3 litre hydration bladder, Source WLPS or ILPS for example
- Stove and fuel
- Gas mask
- Tarp + cordage
