I'm sure you need something a little bigger than this but you might want to take a look at it. Its the Paraclete GP pouch (small).

This is what I've been running the last couple of weeks. I'm growing very fond of it.

Camera?? where else but in an EGL NDD Sock

The SNP is a good piece of kit for what it is supposed to do. For those who may not know, this is almost exactly the zipoff module from a Denali chest rig, sans zipper and has an additional zipper GPO pocket. Has belts loops on the reverse, and FWIW is rather low profile.

off-topic, TR how'd that pouch work for you?

my thoughts

I still really like HSGI EOD pouch. I’ve had one for a couple of weeks now and although haven’t used it for any E&E (and hopefully never will) it does just about everything I want it to.

Ok, Its a thigh pouch, so running isn’t all that great, but my theory is getting in and out of vehicles with a butt pack or any sort of belt kit is a real pain the A. – Besides, my left thigh is 2 inches smaller than my right due to a knee injury and never getting my leg built back up again, so it good compensation

To test my theory, I went running tonight with the EOD pouch full of kit and strapped on... haven’t run with it before. Although its 'weird' it didn’t really slow me down all that much and taking into account the weight I had in the thing, I cant really see a better option if getting in and out of vehicles a lot is a big part of you day.

egg:

Been on the road forever, just put it on and loaded it up last night.

Looks great, fits well on the carrier and the mags go in like a glove.

Color is closer to the MJK as well.

Only things I would change, if anything, is to possibly shorten up the mag pouches to leave more mag exposed for quick removal and to leave the Velcro off the bottom 1" or so of the flap or put a pull tape on it for quick access.

Outstanding piece of work there amigo, will try to get pics up next time I have the camera out.

Thanks, I will get the previous version back to you ASAP.

I'm still thinking a small shoulder bag, a la Maxpedition Fatboy, might work ok for vehicle ops. Sling it in front of you in your lap in the vehicle, slide it more to your back once you're out and moving.

Ideal - but it will invariably be left in the vehicle.

What part of "next time I have the camera out" confuses you?

Sir, do you have a need for a five cell chest pouch to mount Para Ord mags on a Eagle MLCS vest via an EGL Nine-Pack?

No, Sir, I do not. My presence here is driven by curiosity, interest and respect for a field in which I am not employed.

I would still like to see the pictures, and I am sure that others would too. I apologize for rushing you. Please do not punish the others for my impatience.

Oh, and:
