1. Good, but with irritating flaws

   Posted by Unknown on 15th Sep 2016

   I'll start with the good: the quality of the pouch is of course fantastic, which you don't need to worry about with British Tactical. It's very flat, just about enough for a TAM and some lumocolours and that's about it.
   
   I was slightly confused to find the zip was not YKK- I just assumed, wrongly- so there's always going to be distrust of the zip in the back of my head.
   
   It lacks a drainage hole, which is definitely needs. I get there's not enough space on the bottom of the pouch, maybe put one on the back instead.
   
   The fatal flaw is the single zip. It definitely needs two. I can only close the pouch in one direction, which is annoying. If I have the pouch behind my left ammo pouches, to close this pouch, i have to drag the zip backwards, away from the front. This is virtually impossible to do one-handed so would be really impractical to do while holding a weapon for example.
   
   Having two zips would mean you could close/open the pouch whichever direction is easiest, regardless of which side you mount it on. Minor thing that is going to significantly restrict the actual usefulness of this.
   
   British Tactical Response:
   
   Many thanks for your review, most of our products have evolved through feedback from our customers so we really do value your feedback.
   
   Regarding the zip we use which is widely used by many manufacturers of MOD/Military equipment from European company, we have never had a report of a fail, rest assured we would not use substandard materials.
   
   From the input of your feedback and suggestions;
   
   We will add a laser cut hole at the bottom, although this will not have an eyelet as you are right there is not enough room, it will allow drainage. Also, if placing the eyelet on the back water would still gather at the bottom as would be raised to avoid the PALS webbing at the back.
   
   We can also add double zip sliders to this large pouch as there is enough room to open and access the pouch with sliders each side, it would be impractical to do so on the medium version though as this would not allow it to open enough to access with gloved hands.
   
   Again, many thanks and although no name was left so we are unable to provide a replacement with these changes, if you would like to call us on 0208 501 6803 or email on info@brittac.com, we would be happy to provide a replacement pending an updated review.

2. Handy Piece Of Kit

   Posted by L Carpenter on 3rd Aug 2015

   Like all of the British Tactical pouches the construction is excellent.
   Have this under a grenade pouch and a Hoplite Short Vertical Utility, which works perfectly.
   Keeps my notepad, pens and multi-tool, as I hate having digging into me when lying prone.
